The temperature either rises or falls during a state change.
Ex.
Melting from ice to water~ the temperature is rising.

OR

Ex.
From a gas to a liquid~ the temperature is falling.

During a phase change the substance or objects temperature increases or decreases depending on which way they go, Solid to liquid to gas needs added heat which makes it an endothermic reaction. Gas to liquid to solid loses heat energy to slow down its particles this is an exothermic reaction.
