In this lesson, students explored the three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas, through a fun quiz format. They learned to identify various substances, such as water, rubber ducks, and steam, categorizing them correctly based on their properties, such as shape and volume. The lesson emphasized the characteristics of each state, helping students understand how different materials behave in their respective forms.
  1. What is a solid? Can you name something that is a solid?
  2. What is a liquid? Can you think of a liquid you drink?
  3. What is a gas? Can you find something in your home that is a gas?

States of Matter Quiz: Is It a Solid, Liquid, or Gas?

Hello and welcome! Today, we’re going to learn about the three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Let’s have some fun and see if you can guess which is which!

Water

Is water a solid, liquid, or gas? Water is a liquid. Liquids like water can change shape to fit inside any container you pour them into.

Rubber Duck

What about a rubber duck? Is it a solid, liquid, or gas? A rubber duck is a solid. Solids keep their shape, size, and volume, just like your favorite toy duck!

Steam from a Kettle

Look at the steam rising from a boiling kettle. Is it a solid, liquid, or gas? Steam is a gas. Gases don’t have a fixed shape or volume, so they float around freely.

Ink

Is ink a solid, liquid, or gas? Ink is a liquid. Just like water, ink takes the shape of the container it’s in.

Air from a Hairdryer

How about the air from a hairdryer? Is it a solid, liquid, or gas? The air is a gas. It doesn’t have a definite shape or volume, so it moves around easily.

Statue

Is a statue a solid, liquid, or gas? A statue is a solid. It keeps its shape, size, and volume, just like a rubber duck.

Smoke from a Chimney

What about the smoke from a chimney? Is it a solid, liquid, or gas? Smoke is a gas. It floats up into the air without a fixed shape or volume.

Orange Juice

Is orange juice a solid, liquid, or gas? Orange juice is a liquid. It takes the shape of the glass you pour it into.

Marble

Is a marble a solid, liquid, or gas? A marble is a solid. It keeps its shape, size, and volume, just like a statue.

Maple Syrup

Think about maple syrup. Is it a solid, liquid, or gas? Maple syrup is a liquid. It flows and takes the shape of the container, just like water.

Air Inside a Balloon

What about the air inside a balloon? Is it a solid, liquid, or gas? The air is a gas. It fills up the balloon without a fixed shape or volume.

Rubik’s Cube

Is a Rubik’s Cube a solid, liquid, or gas? A Rubik’s Cube is a solid. It keeps its shape, size, and volume, just like a marble.

Vinegar

Is vinegar a solid, liquid, or gas? Vinegar is a liquid. It takes the shape of the bottle it’s in, just like ink.

Pen

Is a pen a solid, liquid, or gas? A pen is a solid. It keeps its shape, size, and volume, just like a Rubik’s Cube.

Air Inside a Raft

Finally, what about the air inside a raft? Is it a solid, liquid, or gas? The air is a gas. It fills up the raft without a fixed shape or volume.

Great job, young scientists! Keep exploring and learning more about the world around you. Thanks for joining us today. Bye-bye!

  • Can you think of something in your home that is a solid, liquid, or gas? What makes you think it is that state of matter?
  • Have you ever seen water change from one state to another, like ice melting or water boiling? What did it look like, and how did it change?
  • Imagine you are a scientist exploring a new planet. What kinds of solids, liquids, or gases do you think you might find there? Why?
  1. Experiment with Water: Fill three different containers with water, such as a cup, a bowl, and a bottle. Observe how the water takes the shape of each container. Discuss with an adult or a friend why water behaves this way and how it demonstrates that water is a liquid.

  2. Solid Hunt: Go on a “solid hunt” around your home or classroom. Find five objects that are solids, like a book, a toy, or a chair. Draw a picture of each object and write down why you think it is a solid. Remember, solids keep their shape, size, and volume!

  3. Gas Observation: With the help of an adult, blow up a balloon and let it go without tying it. Watch how the air (a gas) escapes and makes the balloon fly around. Talk about how gases don’t have a fixed shape or volume and how they move freely.

Hello and welcome to Tutoring Hour! In this video, we’ll explore the three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Let’s dive in!

Here’s our first question: Is water a solid, liquid, or gas? The correct answer is liquid. Liquids like water take the shape of their container.

Next up is a rubber duck. Is it a solid, liquid, or gas? The correct answer is solid. A rubber duck, like other solids, maintains a fixed shape, size, and volume.

Now, look at the steam rising from a boiling kettle. Is it a solid, liquid, or gas? The correct answer is gas. Gases don’t have a definite shape or volume.

Let’s keep going! Is ink a solid, liquid, or gas? The correct answer is liquid. Like other liquids, ink takes the shape of its container.

How about the air from a hairdryer? Is it a solid, liquid, or gas? The correct answer is gas. Air from a hairdryer doesn’t have a definite shape or volume.

Is a statue a solid, liquid, or gas? The correct answer is solid. A statue, like other solids, maintains a fixed shape, size, and volume.

Now, the smoke from a chimney: is it a solid, liquid, or gas? The correct answer is gas. The smoke emerging from the chimney doesn’t have a definite shape or volume.

Is orange juice a solid, liquid, or gas? The correct answer is liquid. Orange juice, like other liquids, takes the shape of the glass it is kept in.

Is a marble a solid, liquid, or gas? The correct answer is solid. Just like other solids, a marble maintains a fixed shape, size, and volume.

Now think about maple syrup. Is it a solid, liquid, or gas? The correct answer is liquid. Maple syrup behaves like water, taking the shape of its container.

Moving on to the air inside a balloon: is it a solid, liquid, or gas? The correct answer is gas. Balloon air lacks a definite shape or volume.

Is a Rubik’s Cube a solid, liquid, or gas? The correct answer is solid. Like other solids, a Rubik’s Cube maintains a fixed shape, size, and volume.

Is vinegar a solid, liquid, or gas? The correct answer is liquid. Like ink and water, vinegar takes the shape of its container.

Is a pen a solid, liquid, or gas? The correct answer is solid. Pens, like marbles, maintain a fixed shape, size, and volume.

Finally, we have the air inside a raft. Is it a solid, liquid, or gas? The correct answer is gas. Raft air, similar to balloon air, lacks a definite shape or volume.
