Nucleoplasm (a gel like substance)
The proper way to cool a large stockpot of clam chowder is to divide the clam chowed into smaller containers and place them in an ice-water bath.
Heat creates energy... the atoms move faster and faster, which changes the state of matter.
for example:
if a solid is heated, it turns to a liquid
if a liquid is heated, it turns to a gas
hope this helps?
