Reception have enjoyed investigating ice today in our outdoor area. We discussed what ice turns into when it melts, what ice was before it turned to ice, how we get ice, what makes ice melt. We made predictions and investigated how to make ice melt quicker. We found out that ice melted quicker in the water tray than on the floor as the water was warmer than the floor. We found out that a smaller peuce of ice melts faster than a bigger peice of ice in the same place and that ice melts faster inside than outside because it is hotter inside. We also enjoyed looking closely at the ice and describing how it looks and feels.
