Heating Things Up

Equal lengths of different solids expand by different amounts when heated equally due to variations in their coefficient of linear expansion.

The effects of heat include rise in temperature, fire, change of state (melting, solidification, boiling, condensation, evaporation, sublimation), and expansion.

Equal amounts of different liquids expand by different amounts when heated equally due to variations in their coefficient of volume expansion.
