phase when special ______________________ are present.

4 > ?

@ When you reach the temperature of the ___________________ point, you become a
liquid.

A Melting a sugar cube is a _____________________ change because the substance

is still sugar.

B Fill in the boxes below to represent each of the phases below:

D Scientists use something called a _____________________ to measure when that

liquid turns into a solid.

E ________________ are a lot like gases, but the atoms are different because they are
