In the lab where we made thermometers, what happened to the green liquid when we placed the thermometer into warm water?
The green liquid moved up the tube. The water particles expanded when they were heated.

We did a lab where we placed items like a cork, a coin, and a wooden bead into water. The cork and the wooden bead both floated. Why did the coin sink?
The coin is more dense than water, so it sank.

What do you call water in its gas form?
Water Vapor

Name one way that water will move more quickly on a slope.
Either of the following is acceptable: -Larger droplets -Steeper slope
500
Describe what happens in the water cycle.
The sun causes liquid water to evaporate. As the water evaporates, it becomes tiny particles called water vapor, which is water in its gas form. The vapor condenses into water droplets to form clouds. Once the clouds become to heavy with droplets, precipitation falls from the sky in the form of rain, sleet, snow, or hail.

Explain how water moves on a slope
Water moves downhill on the slope because of gravity.

When we placed syringes and vials of water in the freezer, the syringe moved out and the lids popped off of the vials. Explain why this happened.
When water freezes, it expands. (This is a unique property of water. )
