4TH – STATES OF MATTER AND ITS CHANGES EVALUATION

Student: Date:

Objectives:
 Describe that matter has mass and occupies space, using materials from the environment.
 Compare the three states of matter (solid, liquid, and gas) in relation to criteria such as the ability to flow, change
shape, and volume, among others.
 Identify the changes of state of matter, such as fusion, evaporation, boiling, condensation, solidification and
sublimation.

1) Determine the state of matter that are shown it the next image. Write the according state (Solid, liquid or
gas) in the table (6 points)

Letter State
A
B
C
D
E
F

2) What is matter? How do you know a “rock” is made out of matter? (3 points)

3) Select the state of matter that it is better described by each of the following sentences. You can select one
or more. (15 points)

Characteristic Solid Liquid Gas

It changes its shape according to the vessels that contains it.
The distance between the molecules is very small
It maintains its shape, unaffected by the vessels shape
The particles don’t move around they just vibrate in one place.
It maintains a definite volume
The distance of the molecules is very high

The particles move freely throughout the space

Its volume changes according to the vessels that contains it.
It can be easily compressed
Its particles flows easily
The material is incompressible

4) Draw a line to match the term to the change of the state of matter (5 points)

Evaporating

5) Using the words below to complete the sentences, according to the changes of states of matter (12
points)

Below 100°C Evaporates Condenses Freezes 100°C 0°C

Heat Cool Melts 0°C Cool Heat
