Yes. A solid can change shape. The process is called melting. Each solid has a melting point. Ice has a melting point of 0 degrees Celcius. You should learn this when you are in Grade 6 or 7. But let me tell you 1 thing, some solids like wood do not melt, wood burns when the temperature is too hot. The only type of solids that can melt are the type of solids that have the properties of changing into a liquid. You can search up videos in YouTube for more information about solids. You can type in "Ice melting", that would be a simple thing to start with.
add. And solids may have their shape altered by applying an external force. That is how a metal can is formed, or a railway iron, or a copper wire, or a metal spoon. Other solids such as wood and plastic may be similarly deformed.

How are gasses and liquids similar in shape and volume?
ANSWER unlike solids, both liquids and gases can change their shape to fit the container in which they are held. however, gases can also change volume unlike liquids.
Properties of solids?
Particles of solids are packed tightly together and can't move. They don't change shape unless damaged.
Changes shape and volume to fit container?
-- Gases change their shape and volume to match the container they're in. -- Liquids change their shape but not their volume. -- Solids don't change anything. It doesn't matter if they're in a glass jar, a rubber balloon, or a paper bag. ===== A Gas
What are the properties of solids for kids?
The solids have definite shape they have definite volume they have high density they are packed ie.not compressible
What is the change of Solids to liquids to solids again called?
Solids to Liquids (Melting) Liquids turning back into a Solid (Freezing) ((SCF))
How do solids change shape?
Solids change their shapes in many ways. Solids will melt if they are in hot temperatures, and this changes their shape.
How do solid change their shape?
Solids change their shapes in many ways. Solids will melt if they are in hot temperatures, and this changes their shape.
What properties of solids distinguish them from solids and gases?
Solids don't change their size or shape.
When do solid change its shape?
Solids can only change their shape by force, as when broken or cut.
What is a solids definite shape?
That means that its shape doesn't easily change.
Do solids and liquids change in size when taking the shape of its container?
No liquids and solids do not change size the volume, mass,density, and weight stay the same they just change shape.
Can solids liquds and gases change there shape?
Liquids yes, gasses yes, solids no
What properties of solids distinguish them from liquids and gases?
Solids don't change their size or shape.
Does not change shape when placed in a diffrent container?
Solids.
How can you tell solids and liquids apart?
Liquids are malleable, meaning you can shape them, or they can change to fit the shape of the container they are being held in. Solids are basically classified as anything that can not(dramatically) change form or conform to another shape.
What properties do only gases have?
Gases change their volume according to the container that they are in. Liquids change shape but not volume, and solids change neither shape nor volume.
What property easily changes in gases but does not easily change in solids?
shape and volume
