Please help me with this science question

Question

Bezz filled a syringe with water and left it by the sink in the sunshine. Ten minutes later she saw a little puddle of water under the syringe tip. Bess said, this syringe must be broken. It’s leaking. But it wasn’t broken. What do you think caused the little puddle of water to appear under the syringe tip?  

Answer 1

Hi, Christopher,

    The place were the syringe was left was important, near a window.  Next, the temperature of the water in the syringe rose because the sunlight was contacting it through the window.  Imagine what happens to the water molecules as the water heats up.  Then imagine why water would end up outside of the syringe, and you have the answer to this problem.
