Can matter change from one state to another?
Can Matter Change from One State to Another?
Yes, matter can change from one state to another through processes such as melting, freezing, evaporation, and condensation. These changes are a result of the transfer of energy to or from the matter. For example, when a solid like ice is heated, it changes into a liquid (water) through the process of melting. In South Africa, Grade 7 students learn about these state changes in their Science curriculum as part of the Matter and Materials topic, which covers the States of Matter. Understanding these changes is crucial in comprehending the physical properties of matter.
