Yes.
If you wanted to stick with water --
Liquid comes out of the tap.
Solid is formed when water is frozen into ice.

What about air. That's a gas and it's certainly around your house.
What about salt, sugar, baking soda for solids?
What about vinegar, water, syrup, gasoline for liquids?

Yes, you are correct! The three most common phases of matter are gas, liquid, and solid. To find examples of each phase of matter around your house, you can consider the following:
1. Gas: Look for substances that have a gaseous state at room temperature. Examples can include the air around you, which consists of various gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and others. You may also find gas in containers such as butane or propane canisters used for cooking or heating.
2. Liquid: Search for substances that have a liquid state at room temperature. This can include water in bottles or containers, beverages like juice or milk, cleaning liquids such as detergent or dish soap, cooking oils like vegetable oil, and even perfumes or cologne.
3. Solid: Identify objects or materials that retain their shape and cannot be easily poured or changed in volume. Some examples of solid objects you might find around your house are furniture like chairs, tables, or beds. Other solid materials could be books, toys, electronic devices, or even food items like bread, fruits, or vegetables.
Remember, there are also additional phases of matter like plasma and Bose-Einstein condensate, but these are less commonly encountered in everyday life.
