So what about water? When water freezes and turns to ice it gets bigger.
So removing heat from some items does increase it's size. I think water
is the only thing that does this.
Does anyone know why this happens? Any explanation needs to be related
to me in the lowest common denominator so I can understand it! I once
asked my son to ask his science teacher this question. I think my son
thought the teacher would make him to figure it out on his own ,,,,,, he
never asked.
