Ice Cube Melt
What to do:
- Ask children to put an ice cube into unbreakable containers and place them around the room or outside in different places.
- Watch and compare how fast the ice melts in each place—discuss why it melted faster or slower, and how you could change that.
- Older children can chart how long it takes for the ice to melt in the different locations.
