Today we read in the Cherry Blossom gazette that Magical, Mysterious, Magnificent, Maria the Magician is coming to our town. The rumor is that she can change objects from liquid to solids and even gas on stage. Since we are all studying to become magicians ourselves someday, we need to figure out how she does this. So put on your capes, cone shaped hats and grab your wands and head on over to the computers. We need to solve the mystery of the amazing magical changes that occur when we add heat or cold to ordinary objects.
