We looked at the properties of ice last week .  We felt the ice parcels and opened them up to discover trapped teddies in ice castles!  How were we going to get them out?  We tried putting them in cold water, hot water, poured salt on them and just moved them about in a tray.  We discovered that the warm water melted them quicker and we got to release the teddies.  Lots of salt made the ice even more cold.

We also,painted some ice blocks to see what happens to the ice.  It made some great patterns.  We then went out for a walk around the school to see the different patterns the ice had made outside.
