Ice Cube Melting Challenge
How long does it take to melt an ice cube?
It’s time for your kids to discover the science of melting! We’ll use scientific methods to reveal true facts about ice, surfaces, and how glaciers can stay frozen all summer. We’ll melt ice cubes on different surfaces so be ready to make a splash!
1 Your Guide
As a scientist, I LOVE exploring and learning through hands-on experimenting! Planting seeds and sprouts and watching them grow is one of my favourite things to do. I am an active learner and am currently participating in my MEd, my fourth university degree. I have worked with the Ontario Science Centre, Science North, and as a grade 7 and 8 classroom teacher for many years - all great places to try new things. I believe staying curious is the most important thing people can do!
I like taking pictures of plants, animals, water and sky, then use them to create fun works of art using glass, wood or paint!
