Ice Melts!
Have you ever held an ice cube in your warm hand? If you do, you might notice it starts to drip, drip, drip! That’s because the warmth from your hand is making the ice change from a solid to a liquid. This cool change is called MELTING! Think about how ice cream melts when it’s sunny outside, or how the snow melts away when spring arrives. Even butter melts when it gets hot in a pan! Isn’t it amazing to see how heat can make solids turn into liquids? It’s like magic happening right in front of your eyes! Next time you see ice, remember that it can change into water just by being warm. Let’s explore more about how things can change with heat and have fun with science together!

Why this matters: Ice Melts! helps learners in Chemistry connect ideas from Pre-K Kitchen Science Lab! to decisions they make during practice and assessment. Keep the explanation friendly and practical.
Step-by-step approach: (1) define the goal in one sentence, (2) identify evidence that supports the goal, (3) explain how each piece of evidence changes your conclusion, and (4) verify the final answer against the original goal and constraints.
