==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
An [[endothermic]] process is one takes in [[energy]]. This usually causes surroundings to decrease in [[temperature]].

===About Exothermic Processes===
: A few [[Chemical Reaction|chemical reactions]] are [[endothermic]] with means they need [[energy]] from the environment and this is observed by a decrease in [[temperature]].

| style="height:20px; width:500px; text-align:center;" |The [[energy]] stored in the [[reactant]]s less than the [[energy]] stored in the [[product]]s. This means the [[Chemical Reaction|reaction]] must take in [[energy]] from the environment which causes the surroundings to decrease in [[temperature]].

: [[Melting]], [[Evaporating]] and [[Subliming]] are [[endothermic]] changes because they need [[energy]] to happen. The [[material]] has more [[energy]] at the end than it did the beginning. However, there is usually no decrease in [[temperature]] because the [[material]] is usually being heated to [[State Change|change state]].
: [[Dissolve|Dissolving]] is an [[endothermic]] process as [[energy]] is needed to break the [[bond]]s in the [[solid]] [[solute]] to [[dissolve]]. This causes the [[solution]] to decrease in [[temperature]] while the [[solute]] is [[dissolve|dissolving]].
