Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Nikki. Nikki loved to help her mother in the kitchen. One day, Nikki’s mother was boiling water to make tea. Nikki was curious. She ran to her father and asked him , “Papa, why is the water boiling?” Her father replied, “The water is boiling because it has reached its boiling point.”
Nikki was confused and asked, “What is boiling point?” Her father explained, “Boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas. When we heat water, it gets hotter and hotter. When it reaches 100 degrees Celsius, it starts to boil and turns into steam.”
Nikki was fascinated and asked, “Can we see the boiling point?” Her father smiled and said, “Yes, we can see the boiling point. Watch the water carefully.” As they watched, the water started to bubble and steam rose from the pot. Nikki was amazed and exclaimed, “Wow, that’s so cool!”
From that day on, Nikki understood what boiling point meant. She loved to watch water boil and turn into steam. Whenever she saw steam rising from a pot, she would run and inform her mother, “Look, Mommy! The water has reached its boiling point!”
And that’s how Nikki learned about boiling point.
