**__Hypothesis __: **

=
**Water is made of tiny particles called molecules which are constantly in motion. If the water is heated the particles move faster and push each other apart more - this makes water expand. If water is cooled then the particles slow down move closer, so water shrinks! ** ======

=
**Method: ** ======

=
**1. Fill up three similar bottles with water right up to the top. Leave one on the bench, have the second in a container of ice and the third in boiling or very hot water. Observe the bottles carefully - what happens? ** ======

=
**Materials: ** ======

=
**1.Three plastic bottles the same size and shape ** ======

The bottle in the hot water had condensed water on the outside and was expanding. The bottle in the ice seemed to have shrunk and gone very cold. ** ======
