Ice Science

We are learning to be 'ice' scientists.

We will know we can do this when we can:

o Gather Information about ice

o Observe (look carefully)

o Investigate (DO A FAIR TEST)

o Report our findings

We used 4 ice balloons. One was a control. To the others we added a teaspoon of salt, 4 drops of food colouring and 1 teaspoon of water.

We filled in science report sheets.We drew what we saw, and wrote what we observed.

Ben Forbes said, "The salt made the ice lumpy. The salt one melted the most.The teaspoon of water made the ice smooth.The food colouring went through the cracks and the ice went black."

Yazeed said," You can see through the ice. The salt makes it smaller at the end. The salt melted the most. It made it bumpier."

Keaton said, "The water got bigger. The control had not much water. The one with food colouring had a lot of red water. The one we added water to had a lot of water."
