Grade 2 Science Worksheet - Challenge Me
Write solid, liquid, or gas.
Read this first
A solid keeps its own shape. A liquid pours and takes the shape of its container. A gas spreads out to fill all the space it can.
a ball
liquid soap
the air in a bike pump
the bubbles in soda
a plate
melted butter
bath water
a slice of cheese
the air in a basketball
Everything we touch is matter, and matter comes in three common states. A solid, like a spoon or a rock, keeps its own shape. A liquid, like milk or juice, pours and takes the shape of its cup. A gas, like the air in a balloon or the steam above a pot, spreads out to fill whatever space it is in. This worksheet lists nine things, three of each state, mixed up, and your child writes solid, liquid or gas beside each one.
Gases are the hardest because they are invisible, so talk about what happens when you let air out of a balloon. Ask your child to test each answer against the tip at the top: does it keep its shape, pour, or spread out?
NGSS standard: 2-PS1-1
A spoon keeps its own shape, so it is a solid. Milk pours and takes the shape of the glass, so it is a liquid.
Calling a gas a liquid or a solid because it cannot be seen, or calling a powder or a pile of small pieces a liquid.
Does it keep its shape, pour, or spread out to fill the space?
