Today Primary 3A and B completed an experiment to see how to melt ice the quickest way using our bodies. We made a prediction about how fast we thought we could melt it and the best method of melting it.

We tried to rub it between our hands, left it on the table, crushed the ice in our hands, heat it with our breath and used our sleeve to melt it.

We discovered the best way to melt the ice was to try and heat it with our hands or breath.

In primary 3B the fastest person to melt the ice was Emily in 1 minute 54 seconds. In primary 3A Robbie melted it 1 minute 40 seconds.

We know that when ice melts it turns back into water.

Here are some pictures of us in action.

After we melted the ice we all had cold hands and then completed a science report.
