1. Boiling, Freezing, and Melting Water
Using the Celsius scale and Fahrenheit scale.

2. Freezing Point
Water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius and 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
As temperatures drop into the negatives, water continues to freeze and harden.
Temperatures in the Arctic can drop to as low as -89° Celsius!
Any temperature below 0° Celsius keeps the water freezing.

3. Melting Point The melting point for water is 0° Celsius.
As temperatures continue to rise, water continues to melt.

4. Don’t get confused!
Water’s freezing point and melting point are both at 0° Celsius.
Just ask yourself, “Is the temperature getting warmer or colder?”

5. Freezing vs. Melting
Freezing occurs when enough heat is removed to cause a phase change.
Melting occurs when enough heat is added to cause a phase change from solid to liquid.
FUN FACT: Sometimes the difference in temperature between ice and liquid water may be 1 degree Celsius!

6. Caution Hot! Boiling Point of Water
The boiling point of water is at 100° Celsius and 212 degree Fahrenheit..
Evaporation occurs at a very rapid pace from this point…
Caution
Hot!
