Phase change

A phase change is a change from one state to another. One phase change that I saw outside of class was when an ice cube turned into water, I placed one ice cube on the table and I saw that it was slowly turning into water. This happens because the ice cube wants to be the same temperature as the table. The table is giving its heat to the ice cube so the ice cube's molecules will start to move faster, and when the molecules move faster they have harder time holding on to each other, so the ice cube becomes less solid and more liquid. The heat is being removed from the table and adder to the ice cube. The ice cube changed from a solid to a liquid, this transition his called melting.
