The task asks to sort pictures into three categories: Solid, Liquid, or Gas. Let me go through each item carefully and determine its state of matter.
Solid items (keep their shape, don't flow):
- Pencil ✓ solid
- Ice cube ✓ solid
- Ring ✓ solid
- Kite ✓ solid
- Candy ✓ solid
- Cake ✓ solid
Liquid items (flow, take the shape of their container):
- Water in a pool ✓ liquid
- Juice ✓ liquid
- Well paint (paint) ✓ liquid
- Rain ✓ liquid
- Soup ✓ liquid
- Milk ✓ liquid
Gas items (spread out, fill any space):
- Wind ✓ gas (moving air)
- Fog ✓ gas (water vapor/tiny droplets suspended in air - actually fog is tiny water droplets, but in elementary science it's often classified under gas/air phenomena... hmm, let me think. Actually fog is technically tiny liquid water droplets suspended in air. But in this worksheet context, it appears to be listed under Gas.)
- Tornado ✓ gas (moving air)
- Air in bubbles ✓ gas
- Steam ✓ gas
- Helium inside balloons ✓ gas
Looking at the answer key image provided, the sorting is already shown correctly:
Solid: pencil, ice cube, ring, kite, candy, cake
Liquid: water in a pool, juice, well paint, rain, soup, milk
Gas: wind, fog, tornado, air in bubbles, steam, helium inside balloons
Final Answer:
Solid: pencil, ice cube, ring, kite, candy, cake
Liquid: water in a pool, juice, well paint, rain, soup, milk
Gas: wind, fog, tornado, air in bubbles, steam, helium inside balloons
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of three states of water worksheet.
