When Eric-palces some room temperature strawberries into the freezer, he is changing the temeprature of the strawberries. When the strawberries are in the room tempertaure, they are absorbing certain amount of heat.
When they are placed in the freezer they are releasing the heat to the environment and this leads to condition called as phase change. Due to this phenomenon, the heat from the strawberries transfers to the freezer and causes the strawberries to freeze.
