Our Science Experiment!

We decided to try an experiment in our classroom.  Which ice cube will melt the fastest?  




Our 4 options are: 
1.  An ice cube with salt sprinkled in it.
2.  An ice cube with pepper on it.
3.  An ice cube with dish soap on it.
4.  An ice cube with water on it!  

The wait begins!


Here is what we discovered:
The ice cube in the water melted first, the ice cube with the salt melted second, the ice cube in the dish soap melted third and the ice cube with the pepper melted last!

Transferring Water!



Some friends are transferring the water from the melted snow into cups.  Chayse noticed that if you really squeeze the eye dropper it fills up to the top.  If you only do a little squeeze you only " suck up" a little water.  Great observation!


At the Science Table!



Mixing colours in the snow using eye droppers.

Our Creations!
