This worksheet is a reading comprehension and science activity. It does not have a single math problem to solve, but rather asks you to read the text and follow instructions.
Here is a breakdown of what the text explains and what you need to do:
1. The Science Concept (Reading Part)
The text explains the
Three States of Matter:
*
Solids: Molecules are packed tightly together. They hold their shape. Examples: Ice cubes, rocks.
*
Liquids: Molecules are close but can slide past each other. They take the shape of their container. Examples: Water, juice.
*
Gases: Molecules are far apart and move very fast. They fill all available space. Examples: Steam, air.
The text also explains that adding heat (energy) makes molecules move faster and spread out (Solid $\rightarrow$ Liquid $\rightarrow$ Gas). Removing heat makes them slow down and pack together (Gas $\rightarrow$ Liquid $\rightarrow$ Solid).
2. The Activity Instructions (Doing Part)
To complete this homework, you must follow these steps on your paper:
*
Draw: In the empty box on the right side, draw a picture of an ice cube melting into water, and then turning into steam.
*
Label: Write "Solid," "Liquid," and "Gas" next to the correct parts of your drawing.
*
Write: On the lines at the bottom, write a short story about your "imaginary ice-cube test." Describe what happened when you heated it up and cooled it down, using the words *solid*, *liquid*, and *gas*.
Since I cannot draw on your paper or write your personal story for you, here is a guide to help you finish the assignment correctly.
Final Answer:
To complete this assignment, you must:
1.
Draw a diagram in the box showing an ice cube (solid), a puddle of water (liquid), and steam rising (gas).
2.
Label each part of your drawing clearly.
3.
Write a paragraph on the lines provided describing how the ice cube changed states when you added heat (melted/evaporated) and removed heat (froze/condensed).
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of three states of water worksheet.
