What is the correlation (connections, similarities, changes) between pressure and temperature as well as the state of matter you are changing?
What causes the lid to blow off? What patterns do you see?
I think that the lid blew off because of the pressure inside of the pot and because of the molecules of some substance were moving around so fast as the temperature rises that the lid blows off. I see that in almost every one that at a certain point the lid blows off.
What happens to the molecules when you decrease or increase the temperature? What about pressure?
When you increase the temperature the molecules move much faster and bounce off of the walls of the pot. When you decrease the temperature the molecules slow down or if it is at a freezing point the molecules stop moving completely! If you add pressure to the pot it depends on how many molecules are in the pot, if there are a lot of molecules then it would be easier to blow the top because it wouldn't have any more space to spread.
What if the temperature doesn't change, but you compress the matter inside the pan?
If you did the top would blow of because you would compress it and the molecules wouldn't have any space to move around so they would have to escape.
