In this friction worksheet, learners answer a question about what icy roads and cars slipping have to do with friction. Students complete 1 question.

Students investigate various properties of ice including melting points and the effect of pressure on ice. They demonstrate how increased pressure lowers the melting point of ice and perform a simple experiment proving that water is more...

Students use ice cubes to demonstrate how the polar ice caps are melting and how it effects the polar bears. In this polar bear lesson plan, the teacher explains how polar bears live on the north pole and how they are having trouble due...

Third graders write a noun that names a place they spent their summer vacation, a verb telling one activity they did, and use those words to write a complete sentence. Finally, they use an ice cream cone graphic organizer as a guide to...

Students predict what will happen to ice when salt is put on it. They make observations and discuss what actually happened to the ice. They relate their experiment to the salt trucks they see on the street.

Learners explore pioneer farm life and the types of cooking and ingredients available. They recreate a pioneer version of a sno-cone and discuss why crushed ice was used more often than snow in this recipe.

Students will use inquiry science to complete an investigation. They create hypotheses predicting the changes water undergoes in becoming ice and determine how much ice needs to be melted to create one 8 oz. glass of water.

Students estimate the time it takes for an ice cube to melt completely.

Fifth graders observe experiments with ice and water. They complete a Venn diagram listing the properties of each. They experiment with ice and water, comparing their weights. They note the weights are equal.

Students identify organisms within the realms of pelagic, benthic and sea ice. They explain how these three interact with each other.

Students discover the origin of the Great Ocean Conveyor. They participate in a demonstration showing how salinity and temperature affect water density. They also examine the new sea ice that forms every winter.

Third graders observe a frozen container filled with ice and discuss what happens when the ice sits out in the room. They practice measuring the mass and volume of the ice, watch as the frozen container is placed in a warm water bath to...

Students listen to stories and identify the cause and effect situations in each. In this cause and effect lesson, students read the book If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and then make cookies and ice cream. Students identify the changes they...

Learners examine what happens to salt water when it freezes. In groups, they measure density and salt concentrations in different samples of water and record its freezing time. They discuss the relationship between water density and...

Young scholars use math manipulatives (ice block sticks) to show the addition of two 2-digit numbers. They discuss short-cuts that might be used to make the problem easier. they apply the same principle for adding larger numbers, as well.

In this freezing/melting worksheet, students observe ice cubes and answer a set of 8 related questions.

Students predict whether their hands be warmer in ice water with or without a blubber mitten. They construct a blubber mitten using plastic, Crisco and compare their results with a control group. They observe how this affects buoyancy too.

Learners examine websites about mammoths that lived until the end of the Ice Age. They explore the woolly, Columbian, and the Jefferson's mammoth. There are printable sheets, illustrations, maps, and an animated movie showing mammoths...

Students examine how climate change is affecting sea ice, vegetation and glaciers in the Arctic region.

Students explore the creative aspects of problem-solving and practice creative problem-solving strategies in the context of a story problem. They decide where to locate ice cream stands in a town so that no one has to travel too far to...

Fifth graders find and display all possible pairs of flavors of ice cream and look for patterns in the results. They discuss strategies for finding all combinations of flavors. Students explain and write a description for the pattern...

Second graders discover how matter changes from one state to another by observing melting ice cubes. They decide on means to warm the ice and predict what will happen. Students record how long it takes for the cubes to melt.

Fourth graders are shown the water cycle by watching a demonstration by their teacher. In groups, they are given one two-liter bottle with a starter hole and follow instructions to complete the set up. They place ice cubes into the...

Students practice problem solving skills and experimental design. They build a vehicle that can traverse "glacial" ice capable of carrying a specific load and glide smoothly, creating as little effort as possible for the skier pulling...
