Trapped! Freezing and Melting!

At the beginning of this week, we did lots of experimenting and investigating. Some arctic animals were trapped in blocks of ice! We put them in different places - inside, outside, in cold water and in hot water, then we predicted which of them would escape first and then we waited to see if we were right.

While we were waiting we made some snow bears, some snowmen and some igloos from ice cream. We then enjoyed eating them for our snack - before they melted!

Lastly we made four ice cream snowmen and put them in different places - one back in the freezer, one in the fridge and one outside and one in the classroom. Again we predicted which would melt first, second, third and fourth!

It was great fun and in the afternoon we had a go at recording our results like all good scientists do!
