Companion summary

Have you ever noticed how a puddle disappears on a sunny day, or turns crunchy and solid on a cold morning? Water can change from liquid to ice and back again, which is why your juice stays cold with ice cubes! When water gets very cold, it freezes into ice — but warm it up and it melts right back to water. When you finish, try holding an ice cube in your hand and see what happens next!
