Part 2 Practice Materials and their properties Study the fast facts before doing the task Dissolving means a solid has become part of the liquid. Evaporating means a liquid becoming a gas e.g. when water boils. Condensing is when gas become liquid on a cold surface e.g. when you breathe on a cold window the water vapour in your breath appears as liquid. Melting is when a solid becomes a liquid and is caused by a rise in temperature. Some materials e.g. metals, have higher melting points than others. The opposite of melting is freezing or solidifying. 4. Answer the following questions: 1. What equipment would you use to separate out the following mixed up materials? Choose from : Magnet, filter paper and funnel, sieve, spoon and burner a) stones and water b) pins and rice c) sand and gravel d) sand and water (stirred) e) flour and rice crispies f) sugar and water 2.
