States of Matter Wheel questions

Should the wheel show the answers?

No — it names a substance and the class works out the state. That discussion, including the tricky ones like honey or sand, is where the learning happens.

Can I use this for changes of state too?

Yes — edit the entries to melting, freezing, evaporating, and condensing, then have students give an example of each state change that lands.
