Summative Assessment: States of Matter

True or False: Write a T or F on the lines given. (1 point each)

1. __T____ Solids keep their shape.


2. __F___ Gases change state by freezing.
3. __T___ Liquids have particles that are free-flowing and loosely packed.
4. __T___ Steam is an example of a gas.
5. __T___ Chemical changes form new substances

Fill in the blank: On the lines below each image, write which state of matter the
particles represent.(2 points each)

1._Solid_______ 2.____Liquid_____ 3.______Gas______

Short Answer: Answer the questions below on the lines given. ( 3 points each)

1. Explain how water turns into a gas by changing states.


_____Water turns into gas by reaching its boiling point and turning into
steam. It can also turn into a gas by evaporation

2. List the difference between physical and chemical changes. Give one example of
each.
___Physcial changes are reactions that only change the appreence of the
substance while a chemical change is a reaction where a whole new substance
is formed by the end . In chemical reactions, new smells and colors occur and
the reaction is irreversible. An example of a physical change is cutting an
apple while an example of a chemical change is baking
cookies.___________________________________________________________

3. Explain how solids form and give an example.


____Solids form when a substance freezes or sets. A good example of this
would be making jello or making ice cubes.
