What We Learn from Melting Colored Ice Cubes

Hi Halen! Let's talk about colorful ice cubes!

First, when we have ice cubes, they are hard and cold. We can use different colors in the ice cubes, like red, blue, yellow, and green. When we start to melt them, something cool happens!

1. Watch the Colors: As the ice melts, the colors will spread. This means we can learn about colors and see how they mix. Maybe blue and yellow will make green!

2. Feel the Temperature: Ice is cold, but as it melts, it turns into water, which is a little warmer. We learn about hot and cold!

3. Patience: While we wait for the ice to melt, we can practice patience. It takes a little time, and that’s okay!

4. Fun with Water: When the ice melts, we get puddles of water! We can splash and play with it carefully.

So, melting colored ice cubes helps us learn about colors, temperature, waiting, and having fun. Want to try it together?
