Hot and Cold is science unit for our youngest students which was started when the distance learning period began. We started by exploring the melting of an ice cube. How long did we think it would take for an ice cube to melt? Then we considered ways we could make the ice cube melt faster. Each scientific question required the children to complete an experiment at home, and create a Flip Grid explaining their findings. In our weekly zoom class we all watched these short videos. The next question was How can we stop an ice cube from melting? Children creatively built containers and timed the results. Most recently we looked at the effects of stirring an ice cube. Would stirring make it melt faster or slower? Here children experienced having a control. The children hypothesized the ice would melt faster when stirred. They completed the experiment and posted it on Flip Grid. Most recently we are looking at how heat travels. Which of three spoons (metal, plastic and wooden) placed in hot water would get warm first! We will find out. Stay tuned.
