How does the amount of water change if it is frozen and then melted?

What happens to water left out in an open container?

What happens to water left in a container with a lid?

4B(K-2)#2: Water can be a liquid or a solid and can be made to go back and forth from one form to the other. If water is turned into ice and then the ice is allowed to melt, the amount of water is the same as it was before freezing.

4B(K-2)#3: Water left in an open container disappears, but water in a closed container does not disappear.
