__**TEAM 4, PERIOD 5:**__

CLAIM__: The thermal energy changes the states of matter from a solid to a liquid, and from a liquid to a gas. Or a liquid to a solid.__

EVIDENCE 1__: During our experiment, we had 2 beakers, 'Beaker A' & 'Beaker B'. We had them in room temperature. Next we got a heater in which Beaker B stayed on. Then we put 1 cube of ice in each Beaker and watched the thermometers every 5 minutes for 30 minutes. We observed the ice (solid) turn into water (liquid) and heat up to boiling point (gas).__ EVIDENCE 2: __In the gizmo, when the water, which was a liquid, chilled down a lot, it began to freeze into a solid from a liquid. When the water was heated a lot, the water began to turn into a gas.__ EVIDENCE 3__: In the textbook, the lava flows, the air cools it. The lava may turn from liquid lava to solid crust. When turning into a gas, particles in the water begin vibrating faster. If enough heat is added, the water can boil, or turn into a gas. (boiling point)__

REASONING__: All of these examples include all of the states of matter and how they transform into other states of matter. In our lab, in the Gizmo we did in class, and in the textbook.
