i know a solid is something that doesn't change it's shape, i hate chemistry, but my son has to draw a solid that's in his house, i don't know what to tell him, he said water, but i told him no, my husband told him the table, but i said no, bcus it's shape will change once u burn it, i don't want to send him in the wrong direction, so please help. thank u :)

an ice cube is a good example my grade 10 science teacher used that...
but really almost any solid will burn in high enough temperatures... unless its fire resistant,
I'd go for metal objects; fridge, stove, dryer etc...

Solid...hmmm....well a few things you may find interesting is...
1. There are three states: liquid, solid, gas
Water can be in any of the three at a given time.
Ice cube-solid
Drinking water-liquid
Steam-gas
Ice cubes are considered the solid form of water. The table is a solid and will continue to be if you burn it since it will not turn into a liquid or a gas. It will be ash which is a solid.
Examples of a solid:
Table
Ice Cube
Chair
Fish
Potatoes
Examples of liquids:
Bleach
Water
Kool-Aid
Saliva
Examples of gas:
Steam
Car Exhaust
I hope this helps.

Why not a table? The fire creates a state change. The definition for solid doesn't imply that there is no possibility for change does it? Ice is the solid form of water. Water (greater than 32 deg F and less than 210 deg F) is the liquid form and there is a gaseuos form in water vapor. There is a state change required to get from one to the other and energy is involved in bringing about the state changes. So I don't see why ice can't be a solid, or your table for that matter.

A solid does not have to always remain a solid.
Ice is a solid. (it can easily change to a liquid and gas, but as it IS a solid)
Bricks (as mentioned above work too)
the table - or wood in the table would work
Anything that is not a LIQUID or a GAS is a solid.

Something that won't change unless YOU burn it or change it.
Draw your ring or a book, your house wouldn't be a bad idea. Have him draw a cube with a roof on top and add some windows and doors, etc Or a pillow, computer, or the refrigerator

Your table is a solid now, as is a chair, a dish, a pot, a door. A solid isn't defined as something that cannot ever change into a non-solid.

sorry but the table would work because it is a solid right now. even an ice cube is a solid until it melts

The bricks in the out side walls.

Have him draw a picture of a fork. It'll be recognizable even if a kid draws it.
