Instructions
Draw a line to match the word in the left column with its correct description in the right column. Each word has only one correct match!
| Solid | The process of a liquid turning into a gas, like a puddle drying up in the sun. |
| Liquid | The process of a gas turning into a liquid, like water droplets forming on a cold glass. |
| Gas | Has a fixed shape and volume. Its particles are packed very tightly together. An ice cube is an example. |
| Matter | The process of a liquid turning into a solid. |
| Melting | Takes the shape of its container but has a fixed volume. Its particles can slide past each other. |
| Freezing | Anything that has mass and takes up space. Everything around you is made of this! |
| Evaporation | Has no fixed shape or volume. It spreads out to fill any container it is in. The air you breathe is an example. |
| Condensation | The process of a solid turning into a liquid, like an ice cream cone on a hot day. |
