A very exciting ice bowl arrived in the Rainbow Room this week and there was lots of discussion and interest in it when it appeared on a table. Photos were taken by the children and they examined it closely to see what was frozen inside it. We captured some of the children’s comments as they felt the ice bowl and talked about how it was created. This activity certainly engaged the children to think about freezing and melting.
\nEuan:<\/span> it’s water turned into ice.<\/span>
\n Maja:<\/span> there’s a pompom.<\/span>
\n Danielle:<\/span> there’s a star. It’s melting now.<\/span>
\n Jackson:<\/span> it’s hot inside. That’s why it’s melting.<\/span>
\n Zack:<\/span> ice is water.<\/span>
\n Berrie:<\/span> there’s Lego in the ice. It will take time to get it because it’s frozen.<\/span>
\n Tom:<\/span> you use ice for drinks, it’s made of water.<\/span>
\n Arthur:<\/span> ice is water that’s frozen. There’s stuff inside so we can see if it sticks.<\/span>
\n Isaac:<\/span> it’s cold. It’s made of water.<\/span>
\n Jackson:<\/span> it’s smaller when we put water on it – it’s melting.<\/span>
\n Emmie:<\/span> it’s ice. Water has to be put in the cold to make it.<\/span><\/p>\n
