As a Priority School, Goodland will have extra federal Title I funding to: 1  Add 250 hours of instruction to the school year-for the current year, we have done this by adding minutes to the normal Racine elementary school day.
Melting ice cubes illustrate the process of fusion. Melting, or fusion, is a physical process that results in the phase transition of a substance from a solid to a liquid. This occurs when the internal energy of the solid increases, typically by the application of heat or pressure, which increases the substance's temperature to the melting point. At the melting point, the ordering of ions or molecules in the solid breaks down to a less ordered state, and the solid melts to become a liquid. Substances in the molten state generally have reduced vis
The more crowded and jumbled arrangement in liquid water can be sustained only by the greater amount of thermal energy available above the freezing point. [image source]. When ice melts, the more vigorous thermal motion disrupts much of the hydrogen-bonded structure, allowing the molecules to pack more closely. Water is thus one of the very few substances whose solid form has a lower density than the liquid at the freezing point.
