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. Which changes went back when things cooled?
2. What happened to the bread?
3. What would happen to a melted ice cube left in a freezer?
4. What was kept the same in this test?
2.An egg turned solid when heated and stayed solid when cooled. What does that show?
A.Cooling undoes every change
B.Cooking an egg is a change that cannot be reversed
C.Eggs are always solid
3.Melted chocolate went hard again when it cooled. What does that show?
A.All changes go back
B.Melting chocolate is a change that can be reversed
C.Chocolate cannot be heated
4.A student says "heating always changes things for good." Which result shows that is wrong?
A.The egg turned solid
B.The chocolate went hard again when it cooled
C.The bread turned to toast
5.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 quicker
C.So it is tidier
6.Butter and chocolate both melted and went hard again. What do these two have in common?
A.Neither changed at all
B.Both were burnt
C.Both changes could be reversed by cooling
7.Which change in the record could NOT be reversed?
A.Butter melting
B.Chocolate melting
C.Bread turning to toast
