Adding Heat to a Solid

Today, we did an experiment using crayons (solid) and heat.

Here's what happened:

Lilly said, "We turned on the hairdryer and let it blow on the crayons."

Grant said, "Some of the crayons melted so much that they slid out of the paper!"

Anoushka said, "When it melted, it made a cool design."

Jackson said, "The solid particles turned into liquid particles and changed their shape."

Emily said, "Science is REAL!"

Abby said, "Each time we applied heat, the particles moved farther apart!"

Sidney said, "When we took the heat away it turned back into a solid and it was so pretty!"
