Learning Context: |
| Students in kindergarten do a unit on water play. This exposes them to sink, float and can also include the states of matter. To be successful, students need to know that ice is made from frozen water. It also would be helpful for them to know that ice melts. |

| Teacher Directions: 1. This will be done on day one, time will need to be provided to ensure that the water freezes.
5. Have a bowl with warm water in it so that the students will be able to observe the ice melting quickly. Student Directions: 1. Take water from the pitcher and pour it into the ice cube tray.
2. Put the ice cube tray in the freezer.
3. What will happen?
Next day:
4. What happened to the water?
