This Grade 1 hard worksheet applies solids and liquids to real life kitchen situations. Students answer four multiple choice questions comparing containers, like plastic cups versus nets versus cupped hands, and complete five sentences about choosing the right material for a given job. Hints and explanations help first graders reason through why we pick solid cups for water and jars for pebbles.
