Question

Describe the movement of the water molecules at cold temperatures.

Answer 1

The molecules of cold water are moving slower and are a little closer together. If students do not notice a difference, move the slider all the way to the left again and then quickly to the right.

Answer 2

are there no answer choices? if not then here’s a basic explanation: water molecules move more slowly in cold temperatures, and they get closer together.

Explanation: think about ice (which is basically just very cold water) it’s a lot more dense than liquid water, so as water gets colder it gets denser, and the denser something is the closer together their molecules are.
