Heat any solid high enough and you could see that.

Iron
You've seen pictures of molten iron in a foundry. They heat the iron to a very high temperature, such that it turns into a glowing, yellow liquid. If iron was placed in an extremely hot environment like on the Sun's surface, it would boil and turn into a gas.
Helium
Helium is a gas at room temperature, but if it is cooled to a few degrees above Absolute Zero (degrees Kelvin), it turns into a liquid. It is the only liquid that cannot be solidified at atmospheric pressure by simply lowering its temperature. Scientists have been only able to solidify liquid Helium at the extreme pressures of 25 atmospheres. (1 atmosphere = 14.7 pounds per square inch).
Liquid Helium has some very strange properties. For example, if it is poured in a flask, it will first settle at the bottom of the flask and then start to climb up the sides and soon flow out of the container.
Found it in a google search! So if you have to find it again here it is

Yes, any solid heated to its melting point and temperature of vaporisation will turn to liquid and then gas respectively. Melting and vaporisation temperatures are different for various substances. For an example, water as you know, melts at 0 °C while iron melts at 1538 °C.
It looks to me like you're searching for another observable example of change or state (like water). May I suggest Candle Wax? I think it's called paraffin wax.

Other common liquids, like alcohol and gasoline, change phases exactly the same way water does. Their freezing point and boiling point are just lower.

This is called sublimation. There is no "water one." I am sure you mean the liquid state. Examples......ask a chemistry teacher
