Question
### Activity: Identifying Path Dependent and Path Independent Changes

#### Instructions:
Classify each of the given changes as either path dependent or path independent.

#### Categories:
- **Path Dependent:**
  - These changes depend on the process taken to reach the final state.

- **Path Independent:**
  - These changes depend solely on the initial and final states, regardless of the path taken.

#### Answer Bank:
1. The heat absorbed when ice melts.
2. The change in volume when a piston compresses.
3. The change in potential energy when an apple falls from a tree.
4. The work done when a piston expands.

### Classification:

- **Path Dependent:**
  - The heat absorbed when ice melts.
  - The work done when a piston expands.

- **Path Independent:**
  - The change in potential energy when an apple falls from a tree.
  - The change in volume when a piston compresses.

Use this information to determine which changes are path dependent or path independent based on the descriptions provided.
