GETTING THE MELTING POINT AND
THE BOILING POINT OF WATER

(8th and 9th of November 2006)
We heated some water until it started to boil. We wrote down the temperatures every thirty seconds...

We put 80 mililitres of water inside the freezer and when it became solid its volume was 90 mililitres. So solid water occupies more volume than liquid water.
These pictures show the groups we worked in:
