WATCH THE VIDEO OF THE COMPLETE ACTIVITY
⚠️ This material is an adapted Science activity designed to teach the States of Water and Changes of State in a visual, progressive way connected to everyday life.
6 adapted questions + complete answer key, distributed across 3 activity pages.
The activity follows an important progression: students first recognize the three states of water, then connect everyday examples to each state, organize the sequence ice → liquid water → water vapor, identify the names of the main changes of state, apply the concept of evaporation to an everyday situation, and finally complete a diagram bringing together all the transformations studied.
The material is especially suitable for middle school and, depending on curriculum adaptation needs, may also be used in high school. The material presents States of Water and Changes and States of Matter as learning objectives.
It may especially support students with mild to moderate Intellectual Disabilities, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, Down Syndrome, and reading and writing difficulties, as well as students who need scientific concepts to be connected to concrete situations from everyday life.
It can also support Science teachers, support professionals, and Specialized Educational Support (AEE) teachers.

The activity covers the solid, liquid, and gaseous states of water and uses concrete examples such as ice, water in a glass, and water vapor to help students connect scientific concepts with observable phenomena.
It also explores changes of state: melting, vaporization, condensation, solidification (freezing), sublimation, and deposition, as well as the understanding of how heating can transform ice into liquid water and then into water vapor.
In the first question, students observe a landscape with a river, snow-covered mountains, and the atmosphere and identify the three physical states in which water can be found in nature. The answer choices help students distinguish states of matter from other characteristics of water, such as temperature or classifications such as fresh water, salt water, and mineral water.
In the second question, the concepts become more concrete. Students match ice, water in a glass, and water vapor with the solid, liquid, and gaseous states, using images as direct visual support.
The third question introduces the idea of transformation. Students receive representations of ice, liquid water, and water vapor and number them from 1 to 3 to show the sequence that occurs when ice is heated. The answer key presents the sequence ice → liquid water → water vapor.
In the fourth question, students match each transformation with its scientific name: ice → liquid water = melting; liquid water → vapor = vaporization; vapor → liquid water = condensation; liquid water → ice = solidification/freezing. In this way, students first understand visually what is happening and then connect the phenomenon to its scientific terminology.
In the fifth question, the concept is applied to an everyday situation. Ana hangs a wet T-shirt on a clothesline, and a few hours later it is dry. Students identify that the water evaporated, connecting the change of state to a situation they may observe outside school.
Finally, the sixth question brings together the previous concepts in a visual diagram showing solid, liquid, and gaseous states. With the support of a word bank, students complete the arrows with melting, solidification/freezing, vaporization, condensation, sublimation, and deposition. The activity therefore concludes with a broader view of the different ways matter can change from one state to another.
✅ Begins with concrete examples before introducing scientific terminology.
✅ Uses images of ice, water, vapor, and everyday situations to support understanding.
✅ Combines different response formats: selecting, matching, numbering, connecting, and completing.
✅ Progresses from the three states of water to the six changes of state.
✅ Includes an everyday situation to support understanding of evaporation.
✅ The entire material is available in UPPERCASE TEXT, with visual support, BNCC-related skills, and a complete answer key.
