Melting

Complete the sheet on particles

In a solid

Particles are in a fixed place

Particles can only vibrate about their place

Particles are very close together

In a liquid

Particles are not in a fixed place

Particles can move over one another in the bottom of the container

Particles are close together

In a gas

Particles can move anywhere in their container

Particles are moving very fast

Particles are far apart

Must know that some materials melt

Should know what melting is

Could know some of the differences between the way different materials melt

We have to heat things to get them to melt

Different chemicals melt at different temperatures. (They have different melting points)

Melting is when a solid turns into a liquid
