Gerald looks at the penny he found on the floor. It is a small, hard, flat circle. Which TWO answers predict the shape of the penny when he places it in a cup where he saves his coins?

• It is solid so the volume will not change.

• It is solid so it will keep the same shape.

• It is solid so the volume will increase rapidly.

• It is solid so it will melt when it enters the cup.

• It is solid so it will become more like the shape of the cup.

A teacher tells a group of students to put on their safety equipment. They follow the directions for a lab by filling a beaker with 50 milliliters (ml) of water. 

• The students put the beaker of water on a hot plate. 

• They measure the temperature of the water in degrees Celsius (C) and record the data at zero minutes. 

• At eight minutes and eleven minutes, they take more measurements. Look at the data table. Which statement BEST completes the observations at 11 minutes?

• Water begins to boil.

• Water starts to melt.

• Water in the beaker freezes.
