1 Which of the following is an example of decreasing thermal energy causing matter to
change?
A A crayon melts in a hot car.
B A puddle evaporates on a hot day.
C Water becomes ice in the freezer.
D A marshmallow turns brown when heated.
Thermal energy is basically heat, so decreasing thermal energy is decreasing heat, or something getting COLDER. In the other three examples, they are all getting WARMER.
