Today we did some experiments in the classroom to determine if water freezes faster in the freezer or outside. The children signed a survey to make a prediction as to which would be faster. Then we placed cold tap water and hot tap water in the freezer and outside to see which would freeze faster. We were surprised that it only took 15 minutes for the ice to start form! Then we conducted an experiment to see how we could make ice melt faster.

| Our ice melting experiment, we left one out without touching it, we put heat (a blowdryer), salt on one, and Logan blew on one. We found the ice with the blowdryer melted the fastest, the one Logan blew on was 2nd fastest the one with salt was next and the one left on it's own barely melted at all. |
