This week in science we looked at ice. First of all we identified that ice was a solid form of water. Then we observed what happened when we handled it, we noticed that as it melted it got smaller and became smoother. We also noticed that the edges of the ice became more transparent but the middle of it stayed opaque.
After that we carried out an investigation to explore what temperature ice melts at. We had lots of different predictions and were quite interested to discover there was not an exact temperature that it started melting at but that it was over 0 degrees centigrade.
Below is the recording of the temperatures as an ice cube melted, which we took using a data logger.
