Ethan, Avery, and Michael are planning a science project on the three states of matter. They are discussing about the common states of matter that we encounter in our daily lives. What are these three states?

• solid, liquid, gas

• energy

• light

• plasma

Which state of matter has a definite shape and volume?

During a summer picnic, Benjamin and Lily noticed that James' helium balloon, which was left in the sun, started to expand. What state of matter would the helium inside the balloon most likely be in after this expansion due to the heat?

• liquid

• solid

• plasma

• gas

Oliver, Abigail, and Rohan were having a picnic on a sunny day. They brought some dry ice to keep their drinks cold. They observed that the dry ice changed directly into a gas without becoming a liquid first. What is this process called?

• sublimation

• evaporation

• melting

• condensation

Emma, Avery, and Noah were having a Halloween party and decided to use dry ice for a spooky effect. They observed that the dry ice changed directly into a gas without becoming a liquid first. What is this process called?

• deposition

• evaporation

Zoe, Mia, and Aria were boiling water for tea. They noticed that the water in the kettle changed into a gas. What is the process called when the water in the kettle changed into a gas?

• condensation

• evaporation

• sublimation

Mia left a glass of ice outside in the sun during a hot summer day. After a while, she noticed that the ice had melted and the water was now turning into a gas. Later, Daniel observed that the gas changed back into a liquid on the surface of the glass. What is the process called when this gas changes back into a liquid?

• evaporation

• condensation

• sublimation

• solidification

During a winter day, Maya, Mia, and Scarlett were playing outside. Maya picked up a piece of ice and held it in her hand. What is the process called when the ice (a solid) changed into water (a liquid) in her hand?

• evaporation
