Bubble til you boil!



Last week Steve Jobs took Bill Gates’ action figures and melted them as a way of explaining melting point to Bill. Steve then added more energy until the toys reached their boiling points! Bill recorded the data and was able to graph the different phase changes but unfortunately his toys are now a solid ball of plastic.

In class we used tables to record our data for the three different substances that we boiled. The backside of the worksheet had follow up questions. You can download a pdf version here.
