📚 Topic Summary
Water is amazing because it can exist in three different forms called states. These states are solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (steam). When water freezes, it becomes ice. When water melts or flows, it's in its liquid form. When water boils, it turns into steam, which is a gas. This worksheet will help you identify and understand these different states of water.
