Ice Investigators ๐Ÿ”ฌ Exploring Melting Through Experiment

Introduction

Have you ever watched an ice cube ๐ŸงŠ slowly disappear in your drink? Today you are going to be an Ice Investigator!

Watch the following video ๐ŸŽฅ 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:

๐Ÿงช Observe and describe melting

๐Ÿ“ธ Take photos of your experiments and upload them to the class Padlet

โœ๏ธ Record your findings

Process

๐Ÿ›’ You Will Need:

Ice cubes (3โ€“4)

Small plate or tray

 

๐Ÿงช Experiment โ€” Watch It Melt!

 

Place 2 ice cubes ๐ŸงŠ๐ŸงŠ on a plate ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ. Leave them at room temperature for 20 minutes.

๐Ÿ“ธ 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! ๐ŸŽŠ Before you finish, let's wrap up your discoveries. Try to write down one sentence definition of "melting" on your Science copybook.

Conclusion

๐ŸŒ Real-World Connection: Melting and solidification happen everywhere โ€” 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.
