What happens when...?

I often hear suggestions on what we can do for our experiment from my children. Yesterday was one of those days. This is what I heard: "What will happen if we put ice in hot water? We should do that for our experiment." So today that is exactly what we did.

Here is how it worked:
We decided that instead of just having one bowl of hot water, we would try three bowls of water with different temperatures.

We heated up some water.

cooled some water down, And left some water at room temperature.
Before we put the ice in each bowl, we guessed what would happen. My daughter said, "the ice will melt." My son hypothesized that the water in the hot bowl would "turn to medium."
Then we put 1 ice cube in each bowl of water.



We watched and noticed that the ice did, in fact, melt. We felt the temperature of the water and noted that the temperature of all of the bowls of water felt colder.


We also noticed that the ice in the hot water melted faster and that it took more than one ice cube to make the water temperature "medium".



Conclusion:

Ice melts if it is put in water. Melting ice changes water temperature. Experiments don't have to be fancy to be fun.
