Answer (1)
Here is a classification for objects/materials found in different places around the house and school:
KITCHEN
Water - LIQUID
Knife - SOLID
Salt - SOLID
Steam (from boiling water) - GAS
Cooking oil - LIQUID
BATHROOM
Soap - SOLID
Toothpaste - SOLID (when squeezed from the tube, it can behave like a gel/liquid)
Shower gel - LIQUID
Air freshener (when sprayed) - GAS
Towel - SOLID
LIVING ROOM
Sofa - SOLID
Lamp - SOLID
Air (in the room) - GAS
Glass of water - LIQUID
Book - SOLID
CLASSROOM
Chalk - SOLID
Water (in a student’s bottle) - LIQUID

In chemistry, matter is described as anything that has mass and occupies space. It exists in different states: solid, liquid, and gas.
Solid : A state of matter characterized by particles that are closely packed together in a fixed position, giving the object a definite shape and volume.
Liquid : A state of matter where the particles are more loosely arranged than in a solid, allowing the liquid to flow and take the shape of its container while maintaining a constant volume.
Gas : A state of matter where particles are spread out and move independently, filling the volume of their container completely. Gas has neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume.
Understanding the state of matter of different objects and materials helps us to categorize them and understand their properties and uses in daily life.
