1. If you touch the edge of a paper towel to a drop of colored water, the water will move up into (or be absorbedby) the paper towel. Explain why this happens.
2. How does water affects the regulation of body temperature?
A: You leave a green banana out on a table. After a couple of days it turns yellow. This is a physical change. True or False B: You have a cup filled with water and ice cubes. The ice cubes slowly melt. This is a physical change. True or False C: You light a red-tipped match and as the match burns out, the red tip turns to black in the flame. This is a physical change. True or False
