Solids & Liquids — Answer Key
Part A: Multiple Choice
Circle the best answer for each question.
1. Which liquid pours the slowest from a spoon?
A) water
B) honey
C) juice
D) milk
Honey is very thick, so it moves slowly when you tip the spoon to pour it.
2. Which liquid pours the fastest into a cup?
A) ketchup
B) honey
C) water
D) thick syrup
Water is thin, so it flows quickly and fills the cup with almost no waiting.
3. Why does honey pour slower than water?
A) honey is heavier
B) honey is thicker
C) honey is colder
D) honey is smaller
Thicker liquids hold together more, so they move slowly out of a bottle or spoon.
4. Which pours faster than honey but slower than water?
A) orange juice
B) sticky syrup
C) hard ice
D) dry sand
Orange juice has tiny bits of pulp, so it pours a bit slower than plain water.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1. Thick liquids like honey pour very slow.
Thick liquids stick together and move slowly, which is why honey takes time to pour.
2. Thin liquids like water pour very fast.
Thin liquids flow easily because the tiny bits inside slide past each other quickly.
3. Syrup is thick, so it takes time to pour.
Thick syrup needs extra time to leave the bottle because it does not flow quickly.
4. Milk pours more quickly than honey.
Milk is thinner than honey, so it leaves the cup and fills a glass much faster.
5. A liquid that pours fast is called thin.
We call runny liquids thin because their parts slide easily, and they flow very quickly.
