Melting, freezing and boiling, sentence 12
A fridge or freezer does not make cold; it pumps heat out of the box and lets it go at the back, which feels warm, and its motor adds a little heat of its own.
Who acts: fridge, freezer, back, motor · What happens: not make, pump, let, go, feel, add · To what, where: heat, box, back, little heat
This is a sentence of the lesson «Melting, freezing and boiling» of the physics course of Mova's primary school.
