Activity 2. Read the following text and complete the chart below States of water Water can exist in three different states: solid, liquid or gaseous. Most of the water on Earth is in a liquid state. Water also exists in other states. - Ice, snow and hail are water in a solid state. - The water we drink is liquid water. The water in rivers, seas, oceans or lakes is liquid water too. Clouds are made up of tiny drops of water. - Water vapour is water in a gaseous state. It forms when liquid water evaporates or boils. Vocabulary: Ice: frozen water Hail: frozen rain Snow: water in a solid state Tiny: small To boil: heating water up to 100 ºC
