| Measurable | Something that can be measured in units such as length, volume, density and mass. |
| Observable | Something that is observed with the 5 senses and can NOT be measured. |
| Boiling Point | Water boils at 100* Celsius/212* Fahrenheit |
| Freezing Point- | Water freezes at 0* Celsius/32* Fahrenheit |

| Condensation | When gas turns into a liquid. |
| Sublimation | When a solid turns into a gas. |
| Freezing | When a liquid turns into a solid. |
| Melting | When a solid turns into liquid. |
