Cooking is chemistry, sentence 15

Microwaves make water molecules wiggle very fast, which heats the food, often unevenly, so stirring halfway mixes hot and cooler parts; metal and foil must never go in a microwave because they can spark.

Who acts: Microwaves, water molecules, metal, molecules · What happens: make, wiggle, heat, stir, mix, not go · To what, where: food, hot parts, microwave

This is a sentence of the lesson «Cooking is chemistry» of the chemistry course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (Microwaves, water molecules, metal, molecules), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R1-cc-next ×1, R5-strong ×1. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
