About this worksheet
Sixteen materials from a science cupboard, ranging from runny honey to air in a tyre, make up this Year 4 states of matter sort. Pupils write each one under Solids, Liquids or Gases. A Watch out box warns that some items are tricks and tells pupils to ask whether a single piece keeps its own shape. Page 2 has two questions: which item was hardest to place, and one new example for each state with a reason. The answer key flags fine sand, cotton wool, icing sugar and runny honey as the tricky cases. The sheet is matched to the England National Curriculum for KS2 science.
