  • 5 Examples of Melting: From Solid to Liquid
    Here are 5 examples of changing materials from solid to liquid (melting):

    1. Ice melting into water: This is the most common example. Ice (solid water) melts into liquid water when the temperature rises above its freezing point (0°C or 32°F).

    2. Chocolate melting in your hand: Chocolate is a solid at room temperature. When you hold it in your hand, the warmth of your body provides enough heat to melt the chocolate into a liquid.

    3. Butter softening in a warm pan: Butter is solid at room temperature, but it softens and becomes more liquid-like when heated in a pan. This is because the heat energy causes the butter molecules to move more freely.

    4. Candle wax melting: Candle wax is a solid at room temperature. When you light a candle, the heat from the flame melts the wax near the wick, turning it into a liquid that can be drawn up the wick to burn.

    5. Lead melting in a furnace: Lead is a metal that is solid at room temperature. However, when heated to a high temperature in a furnace, it will melt into a liquid. This is used in various industrial processes like making lead pipes.
