The state between a solid and a liquid is called a semi-solid or colloidal state. In this state, the substance exhibits properties of both solids and liquids, such as the ability to flow like a liquid while maintaining some structural integrity like a solid. Examples include gels or colloids.
it is a solid at some points and a liquid at others.
Not strictly. A solution requires that one thing is dissolved into another (the solute into the solvent). Neither of these is required to be a liquid. However...in my experience, if someone says "in solution", they're referring to a liquid almost 100% of the time. In the same way, it is unlikely you will need to worry about solid or gaseous solutions (which are usually referred to by a more specific name, anyhow). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solution Gives a good insight and some examples. Also, you may want to have a quick read on colloids, which will add to the scope and give a better appreciation of how phases can interact with eachother. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colloid
A physical change is a change that can be reversed easily and no new substances are made. Examples are state changes ie. solid to liquid or liquid to gas.
Some examples of solid solutions include brass (copper and zinc), steel (iron and carbon), and bronze (copper and tin). These solid solutions form when two or more elements are mixed together at high temperatures and then cooled to form a homogeneous solid structure.
Glass, it appears solid while in front of you, however over hundreds of years it does slowly sink. Windows from the Victorian times are thicker at the base than they are at the top because of the liquid form of glass, gravity pulls it down.
Liquid, Gaseous, and Solid. Solid solutions create alloys.

Some examples of liquid-liquid solutions include vinegar (acetic acid in water), rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol in water), and mayonnaise (oil in vinegar).

A semifluid is a substance that has properties of both a liquid and a solid. It flows like a liquid but also exhibits some degree of resistance to flow, similar to a solid. Examples include toothpaste and mayonnaise.

take some ice (a solid) and melt it into water (a liquid)
