3rd Grade Shape of Solids and Liquids

3rd Grade Shape of Solids and Liquids Worksheet (Matter and Energy, TEKS 3.6B)

Students learn that solids keep their own shape while liquids and gases take the shape of their container, decide what happens to the shape of a block, juice, air, and a rock, then mark statements true or false. Simple black and white doodles and big, easy to read text keep the focus on the science, not the reading. No prior knowledge is needed: the page teaches the idea first.

What's Inside

• A teach strip with the same juice in a glass and a bowl
• Part A: circle what happens to the shape of each object, with one done
• Part B: circle True or False about solids, liquids, and gases
• A friendly squirrel guide that points out the key idea
• A visual answer key with answers marked in red, plus a short teacher note

How Teachers Use It

Use it as a mini lesson follow up, a quick check, or a science center. It takes 6 to 8 minutes and prints clearly in black and white. The focus skill is showing that solids keep their shape and liquids and gases take the shape of their container, part of the grade 3 matter and energy strand.

Why It Works

Each sheet teaches one idea with everyday objects kids already know. Every activity has a done for you example, and students only circle, sort, number, or write a letter or word, so they can finish on their own. Wrong choices are believable, not silly, so students have to think. Pair it with the other Matter and Energy sheets to cover properties, measuring, states of matter, changes of state, and choosing and combining materials.
