Part 2: Phase Change Diagram
Directions: Write the term from the word bank in its correct spot on the phase change diagram (the
diagram is equivalent to 8 questions). Then, use the diagram to answer the questions that follow.

MELTING REMOVING FREEZING SUBLIMATION

DEPOSITION EVAPORATION ADDING CONDENSATION

27. These three phase changes involve the addition of thermal energy (the substance gets hotter):

________________________ ________________________ ________________________

28. These three phase changes involve the removal of thermal energy (the substance gets cooler):

________________________ ________________________ ________________________

29. These two phase changes are uncommon in that they completely skip over the liquid phase:

____________________________ ____________________________
