Let's complete the table by identifying common materials found at home, their phases of matter, and their uses:
Salt
Phase of Matter: Solid
Uses: Used for seasoning food, preserving meats, and in some cleaning products.
Cooking Oil
Phase of Matter: Liquid
Uses: Used in cooking and frying food, as a base for salad dressings, and sometimes as a lubricant for kitchen gadgets.
Air Freshener
Phase of Matter: Gas
Uses: Used to improve the scent of a room by eliminating odors or adding a pleasant smell.
Aluminum Foil
Phase of Matter: Solid
Uses: Used in the kitchen for wrapping food, covering baking dishes, and sometimes used in arts and crafts.
Toothpaste
Phase of Matter: Solid (often in paste form, which is technically a mixture of liquid and solid)
Uses: Used for cleaning teeth, removing plaque, and freshening breath.
This exercise helps understand the states of different materials we use in our daily lives and what they are commonly used for.
