Science Experiment: Melting Ice

Your kindergarten class will think you are a magician!  And to top it off, the kids will stay glued to the experiment (melting ice) for a full five minutes.

Supplies:
Three plastic dishes
Ice cubes
Sugar
Salt
Flour

Explain that you are putting salt, sugar and flour on ice and the class must predict which ice will melt fastest.

Divide ice cubes into three dishes (Plates A, B, C).  Drizzle sugar over ice on Plate A, flour over ice on Plate B, and finally salt over ice on Place C.

Of course, the salted ice melts faster.  Tell them why and it's like "OOOHHH, Ms. Normal, you're so cool."
