Global Warming experiment

Yesterday we carried out an experiment on melting ice to help us better understand the concept of global warming. Each group had a different place to put their ice – the classroom, next the heater or in the cold cupboard! We then had to record the water temperature and level every two minutes. We had to be very careful when recording the results, looking very closely at the lines on the thermometer and on the measuring cylinder. 












We found the ice next to the heater melted the most and had the highest level of water rise after 8 minutes. We identified things that worked well with our experiment and things that could be improved next time we carry out an experiment.

  1. What an interesting experiment. You all seem to be working well together and cooperating well in groups. Well done P3 Caroline (Erin R's mum)
