open space, I slowly disappeared. What phase change happened
to me?

In this lesson, you will be able to answer


the following questions:
1. What are the different phase changes
Jump Start that matter can undergo?
2. How does temperature affect different
states of matter?

Do you love to eat ice cream? Ice cream
is a solid, but when it melts, it becomes a
liquid. When matter undergoes a change
in state or phase, it is called phase
change.
Each state of matter can undergo change
when the temperature or pressure varies.
What happens when you put water in a freezer?
When you put water in the freezer, it becomes ice
when it reaches its freezing point. Freezing point
is the temperature at which a liquid becomes a
solid. The freezing point of water is 0 degree
Celsius (°C). The change in phase from liquid to
solid is known as freezing or solidification. Ice
drop, ice candy, and ice cream are examples of
solids made up of frozen liquids.

When you blow-dry your hair after bathing, you


observe another phase change called
evaporation. During evaporation, the water
changes to gas without boiling. Evaporation
happens on the surface of a liquid.

When you boil water,


you add heat to the water until it reaches
its boiling point. Boiling point is the
temperature at which a liquid changes to
gas or water vapour (the gaseous form of
water). The boiling point of water is 100
degree Celsius (°C).
When a liquid becomes a gas as a result of evaporation due to
boiling, this is called vaporization.

Condensation is a change which can be observed when water


vapour changes into liquid water.

When you have a glass of cold water, the


warm moist air hits the cold surface of the
glass, and the air cools and condenses to
water droplets. Condensation in the
atmosphere may appear as clouds, fog,
mist, or dew.

What do you think will happen if you leave a


glass of ice on a table for 10 minutes? The
ice will change its phase from solid to liquid.
This phase change is called melting. Some
solids melt even without using heat directly
to them. For example, ice cream melts when
you leave it at room temperature. On the
other hand, chocolate, butter, and cheese are
some examples of solids that melt when
heated.

Another phase change is deposition, the change of gas to solid


without passing the liquid phase. Deposition occurs when water
vapour changes directly to ice by subfreezing air. Deposition is
commonly observed in countries with winter seasons. Water vapor
turns to ice (snow) without passing the liquid phase.

The opposite of deposition is sublimation, the


changing of solid to gas without passing the
liquid phase. An example of sublimation is the
sublimation of dry ice. Dry ice is the solid form of
carbon dioxide (a kind of gas). When you leave it
at room temperature, dry ice changes directly
from solid to gas, producing a foglike effect.
Objectives:
1. Observe the different phase changes in making ice cream.
2. Make homemade vanilla ice cream.

Materials:
1. 1 large (1 L) resealable plastic bag
2. 1 small (250 ml) resealable plastic bag
3. 5 cups crushed ice
4. 1 cup rock salt
5. 3 cups full cream milk
6. 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
7. 16 teaspoons white sugar
8. Measuring spoon
9. Plastic containers

Procedure:
1. Wash hands with soap and water.
2. Open the small resealable plastic bag. Add the sugar, vanilla
extract, and milk. This is the ice cream mixture.
3. Seal the bag with the ice and one cup of salt in the large
resealable bag.
4. Put five cups of ice and one cup of salt in the large resealable
bag.
5. Place the small bag with the ice cream mixture inside the large
bag with the salt-ice mixture.
6. Gently shake the large bag with the salt-ice mixture until the
contents of the ice cream mixture freeze.
7. Remove the small bag with the ice cream mixture from the
large bag. Rinse the outside part of the small bag to remove the
salt.
8. Open the bag and transfer the ice cream to your plastic
containers.

Questions:
1. What was the phase of the ice cream mixture before placing it
in the bag with the salt-ice mixture?

2. What happened to the ice cream mixture when placed in the


salt-ice mixture?

3. Why do you think salt is added to the ice?

4. What changes happened outside the bag with the salt-ice


mixture?

5. What phase changes did you observe in the activity?

●Matter can undergo a change in phase.


●Freezing or solidification is the change of
phase from liquid to solid.
●Evaporation or vaporization is the change
of phase from liquid to gas.
●Condensation is the change of phase
from gas to liquid.
●Melting is the change of phase from solid
Rundow to liquid.
●Deposition is the change of phase from
n gas to solid without passing the liquid
phase.
●Sublimation is the change of phase from solid to gas without
passing the liquid phase.
Identify the phase change involved in each
number. Choose your answer from the
words in the box. Write only the letter of
your answer on the blank.
