Freezing and melting

Solids and liquids can be changed from one state to another by heating or cooling.

Heat melts a solid and turns it into a liquid. Cooling freezes a liquid into a solid.

Heating

Cooling

If water (liquid) is cooled, it changes to ice (solid). This change is called freezing. Water freezes at 0掳C
