Ice, Water and Water Vapour

Open to everyone until Thursday, November 19

To keep it, print it while it is open.

Water can be a solid, a liquid or a gas. Heating or cooling it makes it change from one to another.

In the picture

  1. Ice cubes: solid water that keeps its own shape
  2. A puddle: liquid water that spreads out and takes the shape of what holds it
  3. Water heated in a pan: it turns into a gas, water vapour, that rises into the air

Examples

  • An ice lolly melts into a sticky puddle on a hot day.
  • Wet washing on a line dries as its water turns into vapour.
