Describe the 'Heating and Cooling Curve of a Substance' and what is happening at
each of the stages.

 During the rises of the heating and cooling curve the kinetic energy is
increasing. This is when the movement (depends what state it is;
solid: vibrating, liquid: rotating, gas: translating) is getting faster and
faster because the temperature is rising. Only when that movement is
going as fast as it can will the substance change state. During the
plateaus the substance is changing state therefore the potential
energy is increasing. In this time period the substance is gaining a
new movement (see other question for movements).
