To learn more, we are going to investigate how applying heat energy to ice (solid) and water (liquid) affects it's state of matter.
Materials
1. Ice Cube
2. Plastic, Zip Lock Bag
*BE SURE TO ASK AN ADULT TO HELP WITH THESE MATERIALS*
3. Metal pot with a lid
4. Stove or Electric Hot Plate
In your science notebook be sure to record
1. The materials we will be using (you can draw pictures if you like)
2. The procedure we followed for the activity
3. Your prediction for what will happen
4. Your observations
5. What worked, what could work better and what you learned from the experiment
Procedure
1. Place on ice cube in a plastic, zip lock bag and seal the bag.
2. Using two types of heat energy, melt your ice cube.
3. In your science notebook, describe both types of heat energy you used and which one worked better.
*YOU NEED TO HAVE A ADULT HELP WITH THE SECOND HALF OF THE ACTIVITY*
4. Take the water from the zip bag and pour it into a metal pot. Place the lid on the pot, and place it on a stove burner or hot plate. Turn on the burner and write down what you observe.
