Ice Experiment




1. Identify the forms of matter from the list of materials.




We saw how water can produce gas; now lets observe
how it can go from a solid back to a liquid.
For this lab, you will use:
3 bowls
Ice
Salt
Water
Solids Liquids Gases

2. Make a Prediction
Air salt water
Will melt the ice the fastest.
3. Conduct the Experiment


Observation Box Results

1. Place a piece of ice in each bowl. Number the bowls.
2. In bowl # 2, cover the ice with salt. Observe the reaction.
3. In bowl #3, poor water over the ice. Observe the reaction.
Our Experiment shows that

Air

Salt

Water

Melts ice the fastest.
