Exercise 3.3

The document is an exercise focused on the concepts of melting and solidifying materials, specifically water and butter. It includes questions about the states of these substances before and after heating or freezing, as well as a practical investigation involving ice melting in water at different temperatures. Additionally, it prompts students to think critically about the processes involved and how to conduct a fair experiment.
