10.

A teacher takes a tray of ice cubes out of the freezer. Each student takes an ice cube and holds it in their hands. They make the observations listed in the chart. The student claims that changing the temperature of the water causes a physical change that turns water into ice.

Which argument BEST supports the student’s claim?

a)

The ice cube is melting in the student’s hand since the hands are much warmer than the ice. Heat is being added to the ice, which causes the particles to move faster.

b)

The ice cube is freezing in the student’s hand since the hands are much warmer than the ice. Heat is being removed from the ice, which causes the particles to move slower.

c)

The ice cube is melting in the student’s hand since state is changing from a solid to a liquid. Heat is being removed from the ice, which causes the particles to move faster.

d)

The ice cube is melting in the student’s hand since state is changing from a liquid to a solid. Heat is being added to the ice, which causes the particles to move slower.
