Media package:
Physics and chemistry of water
Description:
Raising or lowering the temperature with the interactive thermometer simulates a change in the molecule structure, a densitometer shows how the density changes.

Information and ideas:
Students should realize that water has a lower density below 0 °C than in the liquid state. Water has its largest density at 4 °C and its lowest in a gaseous state above 100 °C.
