Solids & Liquids — Answer Key
Part A: Trace the Words
Trace each word carefully by following the dotted lines.

3. crush
4. fold
5. cut
6. wet
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. You can fold a piece of paper in half.
Folding changes the paper's shape, but it is still a solid piece of paper.
2. A soft straw is easy to bend.
Bending changes the straw's shape, yet it stays a solid plastic straw.
3. You can tear old paper into small pieces.
Tearing breaks paper into smaller solid pieces, not into a liquid.
4. Scissors can cut a strip of paper.
Cutting a solid just makes smaller solids, so the paper stays a solid.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. A folded paper is still a solid.
True False
Folding changes shape only; the paper is still firm and is still a solid.
2. Crushing a paper cup turns it into a liquid.
True False
Crushing only changes the cup's shape, so it remains a crumpled solid.
3. You can bend a soft wire with your hands.
True False
A soft wire lets you change its shape by bending, but it stays a solid.
