Define reproducibility.
How reproducible an experiment is describes how easily it can be carried out by a separate scientist. The goal is to exactly mimic the conditions of the original experiment and find the same results.
Name and define ALL the phase changes including where energy must be added/removed to occur.
gas --> liquid = condensation (energy -)
liquid --> solid = freezing (energy -)
gas --> solid = deposition (energy -)
solid --> liquid = melting (energy +)
liquid --> gas = evaporation (energy -)
solid --> gas = sublimation (energy -)
