8.

Which two changes could the student make to the model to show melting?

a)

Draw a thermometer to show that the temperature of the object is increasing and allow the particles to move in any direction, so they leave the container and fill the entire room.

b)

Draw a thermometer to show that the temperature of the object is increasing and allow the particles to move more freely, so they take on the shape of their container.

c)

Draw a thermometer to show that the temperature of the object is decreasing and delete the vibrating particles diagram.
