Ice Inquiry




We conducted an experiment to investigate the effects that different elements have on ice. First we froze water to make ice cubes. Then we added water, salt, and sugar to the ice. Students predicted what would happen when each element was added, and we recorded their predictions. We observed the ice throughout the day and then checked our predictions. We learned that ice melts indoors because of the heat and that salt makes ice melt the fastest. We tried the experiment again the next day with different elements (e.g., oil, vinegar, and sand).
