This Grade 2 Science worksheet is a gentle first step into the three states of matter. Second graders sort everyday items as solids or liquids, fill in short sentences about rocks, water, and air, and answer true-or-false questions. It builds the Grade 2 habit of looking at an object and asking a simple question: does it keep its shape, flow like juice, or fill the whole space around it?
