The Science of ICE

Ice is so very interesting when you make it at home with lots of treasures inside.


We used warm salt water and eye droppers to melt our sculptures and retrieve the prizes frozen inside. This gave us a great opportunity to talk about the different states of water.

We compared how long it took to melt the thinner forms versus the thicker forms.






At grouptime we did a fun experiment that lasted all three days of school this week. We also made a long list of the things we now know about ice. Every friend shared a thought with the group.







We used tiny artists palettes at the art table with tempera to create colorful paintings. The flannel board was a backdrop to wonderful storytelling by several children.

It was a week of Science and Language enrichment. Thanks for sending in those ice forms!
