### sense in the lessons

In science, water becomes frozen (solid ice) at 0 °C; freezing is a change of state from liquid to solid, and frozen water expands. In safety lessons never walk or skate on a frozen pond or lake unless adults say the ice is safe; ice can be thin and break. In everyday life frozen peas and ice cream come from the freezer. Phrases: frozen solid, frozen food, frozen with fear, frozen stiff.
