Observe the photos. What is the best way to classify the relative densities of the rubber duck and the rock?

• Measure their masses with a pan balance.

• Test their ability to be pulled by a magnet.

• Toss them into the air and observe them fall to the ground.

• Place them in a tank of water and observe whether they sink or float.

Drag the properties to match the material. Match each material with its correct property:

• milk

• takes on the shape of its container, but not the size

• sugar

• keeps its size and shape in any container

• helium

• takes on the shape and size of its container

Examples of the states of matter identified in the photo are:
