Water Takes Three Forms (by Rachelle Kreisman)
Water comes in three forms: Liquid, solid, and gas.
Water can be a liquid. It flows. It has no shape of its own. A drink takes the form of its container. Water can be solid. Solids have their condition. Water in its solid state is called ice.
Water can be a gas. Gas has no shape. Water in its gas form is called. You can see liquid water after it changes to a solid. Pour water into a cup put the cup into the freezer. The next day, the water will have turned into ice, that is called solid.
Ice can change back to liquid water. Observe this: take ice cubes from the water. Heat can change liquid water to a gas. What happens when a pot of water boils? Bubbles begin to form. Then the water starts to evaporate. You can often see the gas escape as water vapor. Water vapor also can turn back into a liquid. What happens when the steam loses heat. The process of water vapor becoming liquid is called condensation.
