Ice Investigators 🔬 Exploring Melting Through Experiment

Introduction

Have you ever watched an ice cube 🧊 slowly disappear in your drink? Today you are going to be an Ice Investigator!

Watch the following video 🎥 to get a clear idea:https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/2d421d18-129e-45ab-a0da-2ecdfb68c65c/artifact/86077e08-f6ac-41c4-9570-428702d63310

Task

By the end of this WebQuest, you will:

🧪 Observe and describe melting

📸 Take photos of your experiments and upload them to the class Padlet

✏️ Record your findings

Process

🛒 You Will Need:

Ice cubes (3–4)

Small plate or tray

 

🧪 Experiment — Watch It Melt!

 

Place 2 ice cubes 🧊🧊 on a plate 🍽️. Leave them at room temperature for 20 minutes.

📸 Take a photo of your ice at the START and at the END. Upload both to Padlet with the caption:

"My ice before and after melting."

Evaluation

Amazing work, Ice Investigator! 🎊 Before you finish, let's wrap up your discoveries. Try to write down one sentence definition of "melting" on your Science copybook.

Conclusion

🌍 Real-World Connection: Melting and solidification happen everywhere — in cooking, weather, and even in your body! Scientists study these changes to help us make ice cream, build roads that don't crack in cold weather, and understand our planet's glaciers.
