Ice Cube Melting Experiment Worksheets

Learn about the freezing point of water and the effects of salt on ice.

Ice cube melting experiment worksheets. The video comes from my son s youtube channel called corban s fun learning adventures. It is a great activity to teach kids why in snowy regions workers put salt on the road to make them safer for drivers. Can you guess what happened to the paper bowl when i put the alcohol in it.

All in all this experiment went well however here are a few things you might want to try when you do it. My melting ice experiments quickly turned into my melting bowl experiments lol. Put the ice in a solid bowl. Explore the states of matter with a hands on science investigation on freezing and melting.

In this activity students investigate what happens when rising temperatures cause ice on land and in the sea to melt. Students will understand the difference between sea ice and land ice and will recognise that melting land ice will affect sea levels but that melting sea ice won t cause as much of a rise in sea levels. 2 ice cubes that are about the same size. Provide students with a number of extra materials with which to work a lamp outdoor sun access warm water etc.

This focus of this experiment is. Scientific method changing states of matter for this experiment you will need to give each group of students 3 ice cubes that are uniform in size. This melting ice cube experiment takes it a step up by dangling the ice on a string.
