📊 Part 3: Data Analysis

8. Look at the data from our ice melting experiment below:

Time: 0 min = 32°F, 2 min = 35°F, 4 min = 40°F, 6 min = 45°F, 8 min = 50°F

a) What was the temperature change after 8 minutes? __________ degrees

b) Explain what was happening to the ice particles as the temperature increased.

9. Predict what would happen if we continued heating the water to 212°F. What state of matter would we observe?
