1) What do you think will happen when heat is added to water, iron, and mercury?
Click the heat button to see what will happen to each substance when heated.
2) Record your observations for what happened for each substance in your science journal.
Also, look at the graph printout for each substance and record the information on the data table in your science
notebook.
