Analysis -What happen to the particles of water in ice as it turns to liquid using the particle model of
matter?
-What will happen to the liquid on the watch glass if it is transferred into a small container
and left inside the freezer after a few hours.

Abstraction The ice cube, which was taken from the freezer, is at a lower temperature than the
surrounding room temperature. Some of the heat energy of the surroundings is transferred to
the water molecules in the ice. This increases the kinetic energy of the molecules and as the
heat transfer continues, the particles gain more and more kinetic energy. The molecules
vibrate faster and faster and at some point have enough energy to overcome the forces that
hold them in their fixed places in the solid. Since the molecules vibrate so fast, they break
away from their fixed positions. The arrangement of the water molecules in ice gradually
becomes disorganized and the solid where the molecules are in fixed positions turns to liquid
where the molecules are more free to move. This transformation process in which a solid is
changed to a liquid is called melting.
On the other hand, when liquid water is placed inside a freezer, the cooling system of the
refrigerator removes heat energy from the water molecules as a result of which they have
less kinetic energy and move more slowly. As more and more heat is removed and as the
molecules move more slowly, the forces of attraction between the molecules cause the
molecules to be aligned. As this removal of heat continues, the molecules lose so much
 energy that they are not able to move from place to place but only able to vibrate in place. In
time, the liquid water becomes solid water, which is ice. Freezing is the process in which a
liquid is changed to a solid.
Application What are some practical examples that show melting and freezing? Solicit some examples
from the students.
Assessment 1. In freezing, what happen to the particles of water?
2. What happen to the particles of water during melting?

Assignment Study in advance the water cycle.
