It can be frozen (32°F or 0°C) which would slow the energy of the molecules. or it could be boiled (212°F or 100°C) which would rapidly increase the speed of the molecules.

A independent variable is a variable which the experimenter can control and by changing the independent variable the experimenter observes or records the value of dependent variable.
