Activity 1: Classify objects and materials into solid, liquid and gas

1. Classify the materials listed below into solid, liquid or gas. List the names of the objects or materials where
they appropriately belong. Give reasons for grouping them.
OXYGEN MILK BAG COTTON
BLOCK OF WOOD AIR SWEAT OIL

shape or volume.

Activity 2: Descriptions of the state of matter according to shape and space they occupy

2. Look at the materials listed below. Complete the information needed in each box.
Material/Object Mass Shape Volume State of matter
Cough Syrup Definite Indefinite Definite Liquid
Cow’s milk Definite Indefinite Definite Liquid
Air in inflated tire Definite Indefinite Indefinite Gas
Sugar crystals Definite Definite Definite Solid
Chair Definite Definite Definite Solid

Activity 3: Properties of matter

3. All matter can be classified in one of three physical forms or states such as solid, liquid or gas. Complete the
needed information on the characteristics and properties of the 3 states of matter.
States of Matter Characteristics Properties
(Describe the shape, mass and volume if (Give the definition of the following
each state of matter) properties)
SOLID Shape: definite and fixed shape Hardness: is a measure of a material’s
resistance to scratching, indentation,
and deformation.
Mass: solid has definite mass Malleability: refers to a material’s
ability to be hammered, rolled or
pressed into thin sheets without
breaking or shattering.
Volume: solid occupies a specific amount Ductility: is the ability of a material to
of space stretch or be drawn out into a thin wire
or thread without breaking or
fracturing.
Brittleness: is the property of a
material that is prone to fracture or
 break when subjected to stress or
impact.
LIQUID Shape: no definite shape, take the shape of Fluidity: refers to the ability of a
its container substance to flow easily and take the
shape of its container.
Mass: liquid has definite mass

Volume: liquid has definite volume, but it

can change depending on the container it is
in
GAS Shape: no definite shape, takes the shape
of its container

Mass: gas has definite mass

Volume: gas has no definite volume; it

expands to fill the space available to it

Activity 4: Changes in Matter

4. Write the changing states of matter
