Graphing Water Phase Changes

7th Gradeβ€’40 minutes

Learning Objective

I can interpret a graph showing the phase changes of water. details solid, liquid, gas, freezing, melting, boiling, condensation, vaporization

Key Concepts

A heating curve, also known as a phase diagram, shows the relationship between temperature and energy for a material.

For water, the melting point is 0 degrees Celsius, and the boiling point is 100 degrees Celsius.

During phase changes, such as melting or boiling, the temperature remains constant as the energy goes into changing the phase of the material.
