Heated, Then Cooled Again

What happened to four things heated on a warm plate and then left to cool. HEATED, THEN LEFT TO COOL Chocolate ..... melted, then went hard again Butter ........ melted, then went hard again Water ......... turned to steam; the lid dripped water again Bread ......... turned to toast; it stayed toast Egg ........... turned solid; it stayed solid All were heated on the same plate.

  1. 1. What happened to the chocolate?
  2. 2. What would happen to a melted ice cube left in a freezer?
  3. 3. What happened to the bread?
  4. 4. Why is toast different from melted chocolate?
2.A student says "heating always changes things for good." Which result shows that is wrong?
  • A.The bread turned to toast
  • B.The egg turned solid
  • C.The chocolate went hard again when it cooled
3.Wax melts in a warm dish. What test would show whether the change can be reversed?
  • A.Heat it more
  • B.Smell it
  • C.Let it cool and see if it goes hard again
4.Which change in the record could NOT be reversed?
  • A.Chocolate melting
  • B.Bread turning to toast
  • C.Butter melting
5.Melted chocolate went hard again when it cooled. What does that show?
  • A.Melting chocolate is a change that can be reversed
  • B.All changes go back
  • C.Chocolate cannot be heated
6.Why heat every material on the same plate?
  • A.So the heating is the same and only the material is different
  • B.So it is tidier
  • C.So it is quicker
7.Toast stayed toast when it cooled. What would a student say about toasting?
  • A.It is the same as melting
  • B.It is a change that cannot be undone
  • C.It undoes itself overnight
