States and Changes of States

Master states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) and key phase changes like freezing, melting, and boiling with this engaging worksheet!

Match the particle diagrams to the correct state of matter (solid, liquid, or gas). Solid B Liquid A Gas C Determine if the phrases describe a solid, liquid, or gas. Solids Limestone Particles are packed tightly together-vibrate in place Not fluid Not compressible Does not change shape in a container Ice Rigid Definite shape and volume Most dense Liquids Changes shape in a container-may not fill the entire container Not rigid and volume is definite Bottled water Particles can flow past one another lava Definite volume and indefinite shape Gases Volume is not definite Fluid and compressible Not rigid and least dense Particles can move about freely-collide with each other Indefinite volume and shape Changes shape in a container-will expand to fill the entire container Steam Compressible Oxygen Match the change of state terms to the action freezing changing liquid to a solid melting changing solid to a liquid boiling changing liquid to gas at high temperatures evaporating changing from liquid to gas at room temperature like in a mud puddle Match the change of state terms to the action condensation change from a gas to a liquid sublimation change from a solid directly to a gas without being a liquid deposition change from a gas to a solid without being a liquid like ice forming on a window vaporization general change from a liquid to a gas at any temperature Match the pictures to the correct change of state description.
