Use theAdd/remove heat energyslider to controlthe water temperature. The GRAPH tab may be useful too.A.At what temperature does water freeze?OCThis is thefreezing point.B.At what temperature does ice meIt?o cThisis themelting point.C.At what temperature does water bo11?100 cThisis theboiling point2.Observe: Set up the Gizmo to observe freezing. What do you notice about the temperature while the waterisinthe process of freezing?Temperature stays the same3.Explore: Use the Gizmo to investigate melting and boiling. Does the temperature change while either ofthese phase changes is occurring?The temperature stays the same4.Interpret: Select the GRAPH tab to see a graph of temperature vs. time. Click the" button until the wholegraph is visible. What does the graph look like during a phase change?It's flat after being linear5.Extend your thinking: Why do you think the temperature does not change much during a phase change?Discuss your answer with your classmates.Because the change from liquid to gas caps the highest temperature it can be at:when it isboiling the water won't get any hotter because at that temperature it stops becoming liquid
