Water changes shape, and changes back
Water is an amazing magician!
Sometimes hard as ice, sometimes flowing as water, sometimes invisible as steam. Today we reveal its tricks.
🧊 Solid ice💧 Liquid water💨 Gas steam
STOP 1 · THREE STATES5 min
Same water, three looks
Ice, water, and steam are all water.
Flows, takes the shape of its container.
Invisible, spreads everywhere.
Note: the "white mist" from a kettle is not steam—it is tiny water drops!
STOP 2 · MELTING6 min
Ice turns to water when it warms up
Ice taken out of the fridge—what happens after a while?
🧊 Hard ice➜💧 A puddle
A popsicle drips in the sun because?
STOP 3 · EVAPORATION6 min
Wet laundry dries as water becomes steam
A water spot on the floor disappears—where did it go?
Sun and wind dry it faster.
Steam, into the air.
This slow change from water to steam is called evaporation.
STOP 4 · CONDENSATION6 min
After a hot shower, the mirror fogs up
Where do the little drops on the mirror come from?
The mirror fogs up after a shower because?
STOP 5 · THE WATER CYCLE6 min
Water travels in a circle between sky and earth
Water evaporates up, forms clouds, and falls back as rain.
☀️ Sun: water rises☁️ Gather: forms clouds🌧️ Fall: rain returns
So seawater, rain, and your drinking water are always on the same journey.

You know water's tricks now
Heat melts and evaporates; cold condenses; water keeps changing states.
Melting, evaporation, condensation.
Water travels between sky and earth.
Tonight, watch the "mist" over a cup of hot water and guess what it really is.
