Activity 8.5: Let us identify, Put an ice cube in one container and transfer it to another container. Class 6
Activity 8.5: Let us identify
- Put an ice cube in one container and transfer it to another container of different shape. What changes do you notice in the shape of the ice cube? Record your observations in Table 8.3.
- Pour water from one container to another container of a different shape. Observe how water behaves compared to the ice cube and make a record. Did you notice how water flows from one container to the other? What happens to its shape?
- Pour water on a clean surface and observe how it spreads.
- When water gets converted into water vapour, how does this water vapour spread? Compare this with the spreading behaviour of water.

Question 1.
What changes do you notice in the shape of the ice cube? Class 6
Answer:
No change.
Question 2.
Did you notice how water flows from one container to the other? What happens to its shape? Class 6
Answer:
It takes the shape of the container.
Question 3.
When water gets converted into water vapour, how does this water vapour spread? Class 6
Answer:
They spread faster.
Table 8.3: Compare different states of water
| Property | Ice (Solid state) | Water (Liquid state) | Water vapour (Gasesous state) |
| Shape | Remains same | Takes the shape of container | Takes the shape of container |
| Ability to flow | Does not flow | Flows easily | Flows easily |
| Ability to spread | Spread | Spreads, but slower than gas | Spreads very fast |
