How water turns into ice

Liquid and ice but how?

Water is a form of matter, matter is made of elements
 solid, liquid and gas.
But today we will only be looking at liquid and solid and
 how it turns from water into ice.


Liquid// Water is made of thousands and thousands of atoms.
 Water is free to move around not like a brick, so the atoms will be moving
around fast but not as fast as gas,but that is another story that we will go into another
day.However, so the atoms in the water are moving around and bumping into each other.


What is the temperature to turn water into ice?
Well you know how you can change the temperature in the freezer to freeze things is 0 degrees celcuise
So when you freeze ice it turns into a solid so... the atoms in the ice won't move at all and lets face it they are stuck.


FACTS
Hail, for instance, in the clouds are little droplets of water, and when it gets really cold, 0 degrees  celsius.   The weight of the frozen droplets in the clouds is so heavy, the hail comes pelting down and eventually dissolves, and atoms are free to move again!


So, for the liquid/water of any other substance, like juice, to freeze it has to be 0 degrees celcius, then it will turn into a solid/ice.

My picture

This is a picture of what represents me.
I really like to do science experiments because it is really interesting.
Now we are planning our own science experiments in class.
My groups experiment is about GLOOP (Why does it go between hard and soft depending on what pressure you apply?)

My story

Ant


Hello if you are like me stuck in mud ( literally ) and not getting anywhere then welcome to my world.  
On a sweltering hot sticky day it all began.  I was previously searching for food and instantly like the crack of a whip a giant  Tornadoe struck and buried me alive.  For the past 99 weeks ( I think ) I have been trying to dig my way out, so now I am very strong I bet you I could almost lift a peanut now.
“Time to start my early morning digging’’ I said to myself.  I am a bulldozer when I dig because I pull up lots of dirt and dump it some where else.
Wwhats that it smells like fresh air oh thank the lord I am free from this dungeon of dirt now I don’t have to rely on eating dirt all the time.
But… Now I have another challenge to make it back to the nest….
