Our questions:

1) What decreases the time it takes to melt an ice cube compared to just leaving it out at room temperature?

2) What are two ways you think could decrease the time it takes to melt an ice cube?

3) What is your prediction of the way that you think would best decrease the time it takes to melt an ice cube?

4) Write a procedure for your investigation. Be sure to include variables, a control, and constants.

5) Write down what data you collected here in a table or chart that you make.

6)What is your answer to our question: What decreases the time it takes to melt an ice cube compared to just leaving it out at room temperature?

7) Claim: What is your answer to the question?

8) Evidence: What is the data that supports the claim you made?

9) Reasoning: Why does your claim make sense based on the science you know? I suggest thinking about how melting involves the increase in the movement of molecules in the substance.
