The Science Fair Project
Emma’s class was preparing for the annual school science fair. Students were encouraged to choose a topic that interested them and design a simple experiment.
Emma decided to test how temperature affected how quickly ice melted. She placed three ice cubes in different locations: one outside in the sun, one on the kitchen counter, and one inside the refrigerator.
Over the next hour, Emma carefully observed each ice cube and recorded the results in a notebook.
As she expected, the ice cube in the sunlight melted first. The one in the refrigerator remained almost the same.
Emma learned that temperature plays an important role in how quickly ice melts.
