Today, we investigated different ways to melt ice and snow. We have been reading the book, So Much Snow, by Robert Munsch. Our favourite part is when Jasmine, the main character, gets so cold that she freezes into ice! Someone comes and tickles her chin and she begins to laugh so hard that the ice cracks and she begins to warm up :)
For our experiment, we made 3 pictures of the main character and placed each one into some water. We froze the water to make ice blocks and then collected the following: a hair dryer, salt and a tub of water. After rereading our book, we talked about our favourite ways to warm up and we made some predictions about what would melt the ice the fastest. Cameron predicted salt would be fastest, Patrick and Bhagya predicted water would be the winner, while Tommy, Lucas, Jordan, Nathan and Owen thought the hair dryer would melt the ice the fastest. We had a blast watching the melting and in the end, the water was the winner! We had a few friends suggest that drinking hot chocolate is a great way to warm up in winter.... we might just have to have a hot chocolate party in our classroom soon!
