Have you ever tried to cook or make yourself food before? What is an important thing to remember while cooking or making food?

The properties of materials may change due to extreme heat or cold.

​Heating up hard or brittle materials makes them easier to manipulate (glass or metal)

​Extreme cold may also affect the properties of materials, ex: Liquid water may expand while freezing.
