Response Journal Entry 1

Remember to complete the prompts from the "Am I Freezing" project on your blog in complete sentences and to copy the questions there too.  These questions are designed to get you thinking about the Kinetic Theory of Matter and how it relates to changes in state.


Part I:  Complete the Melting/Freezing Matrix and answer the following:
1.    Why do the substances melt? (Hint: you need more information than just saying they got hotter.)
2.    Why do the substances freeze?
3.   Why doesn’t the water refreeze? (Hint: you need more than saying it didn’t get cold enough)

  2. Sounds like the science in your classes is really heating up! Another thing to think about when melting, freezing and thawing is density. I found this great image that compares the density of several liquids and solids. http://williams-science.blogspot.com/
