Willoughby scientists learned that temperature can change matter from one state to another. Today, after observing what happens to cool water when it is boiled, we observed what happens to boiled water when it meets extreme cold!
Check out an example of what we saw in our outside laboratory today. It would have been pretty cool if we had a Super Soaker instead of a thermos!

Some Willoughby scientists thought this looked like water vapor, but after learning more about how temperature affects the states of matter, they discovered that the liquid actually turned into a solid - a cloud of ice crystals!
Check out this Study Jams video that helped our scientists understand how temperature affects molecules in a solid, liquid, and gas:

We wish we had a video of our Willoughby scientists acting out molecule movement in solids, liquids and gases! I'm sure they would love to act this out at home for you!
