What is the Boiling Point of Water?

• The boiling point of water is when water gets really hot and starts to change from a liquid to steam.
• This happens at 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit at sea level.
• When water boils, you can see bubbles and steam rising from it.

• Cooking Pasta:
  • When you boil water to cook pasta, it bubbles and makes steam when it reaches 100 degrees Celsius.


• Making Tea:
