States of Matter Exploration
Explore how solids, liquids and gases behave. Read each clue carefully, then answer using what you know about matter.
Festival Science Crew
Sienna, Layla and Amira are helping at an outdoor music festival on a warm day. They are keeping drinks cool and checking how materials behave.
1.The crew packs ice blocks into a chilly bin. Which state of matter is an ice block, and what clue supports your answer?
2.Layla pours water into a narrow bottle. Which statement best describes the water?
- It keeps its own shape and cannot flow.
- It flows and takes the shape of its container.
- It spreads out to fill all the space around it.
- It is a solid because it is cold.
3.Air fills the space inside a beach ball. Is air matter? Explain how the ball gives evidence for your answer.
4.Match each festival item to its state of matter at the time described.
- A metal tent peg
- Lemonade in a cup
- Air inside a pumped-up ball
- Gas
- Solid
- Liquid
5.True or false: A liquid always keeps the same shape, even when poured into a different container. Correct the statement if it is false.
TrueFalse
6.The sun warms an ice cube until it becomes liquid water. Name the change of state and describe what happens to the ice.
7.When a puddle dries in the sun, some liquid water becomes water vapour, a gas. What is this change called?
- Freezing
- Melting
- Evaporation
- Condensation
8.A cold drink can develops tiny water droplets on its outside. The water came from the air, not through the can. What happened to water vapour in the air?
9.Which two properties describe a gas? Choose the best answer.
- It keeps a fixed shape and fixed volume.
- It flows but has a fixed shape.
- It spreads out to fill its container and takes up space.
- It cannot move or be squeezed.
10.Amira wants to show that a solid can change into a liquid and then a gas. Put these events in order: water vapour forms; ice melts; liquid water warms.
11.Choose one solid, one liquid and one gas you might find at a music festival. Explain one property of each that helps you identify its state.
