Brief overview: John is in first grade, age six. The blue ice exploration took place within an empty classroom at the end of the day. The environment was familiar to both of us, quiet and there was plenty of room for us to have the bucket on the table. I had the other materials on a different table. I was really excited to try this experiment with John after seeing our guest Dr. Susan Rauchwerk conduct the same experiment. I had a list of “nuggets” I had written down prior to John joining me that I took away from our class time exploration. I was really hoping we could touch upon a few of these items. The materials used in this exploration were: a see-through bucket (similar to the size used in the classroom exploration), blue ice cubes, cold water, and a spoon.
Session: John was very excited when he saw the bucket of water and the blue ice. He right away recognized the ice tray and knew it was ice. “Why is that ice?” “Can you think of a reason or of a way the ice in this tray might have become blue?” He thought about this and then suggested paint. I told him it wasn’t paint but food coloring. He asked, “Can we eat an ice cube after?” “I don’t think it will be very tasty after we’re done touching it and exploring with it.” I then asked John, “What do you think will happen if I put one of these

I also would like to have a discussion on what happened when we put all the ice in the bucket at the end of our first sessions and he stirred the water. What did he notice? Why might the water now be a darker shade of blue? I would also be really curious to see the kind of drawing John might create if I asked him to draw what he observed. Would he just draw one drawing or would he draw two based on the different colors of water he saw? How would he draw the dye coming from out of the ice
A: According to the observations in the table above, I have concluded that icing sugar is the mystery powder. From the very beginning of the experiment it was narrowed down to two substances, icing sugar and cornstarch. It was concluded to be those two because the physical appearance and the texture only matched with icing sugar and cornstarch. The two main factors of finding the mystery powder was the reaction with water and vinegar.

In the beginning of the story Mary Maloney sounded so sweet, kind and generous. She patiently waits for her husband to come home from work. As he gets in the house, Mary treats her husband with whiskey and a kiss. She knew he didn’t want to talk until the first drink was finished. Mary keeps up with her husband’s daily routine and she notices something strange. He lifted his glass and drained it in one swallow but there was still half of it left in the cup. She knew what he had done because she heard the ice cubes falling back against the bottom of the empty glass when he lowered his arm. Although, when the husband tried to get himself another glass, Mary tries to get it for hi...
In the novel the main character John Hears about a substance called Ice-9, created by Felix Hoenikker and that substance is now secretly in the possession of his children. “Ice-nine is an alternative structure of water that is solid at room temperature. When a crystal of ice-nine contacts liquid water, it becomes a seed crystal that makes the molecules of liquid water arrange themselves into the solid form, ice-nine. Felix Hoenikker's reason to create this substance was to aid in the military's plight of wading through mud and swamp areas while fighting. That is, if ice-nine could reduce the wetness of the areas to a solid form, soldiers could easily maneuver across without becoming entrapped or
...ce” that the narrator said was melting represents that the shock and fright is apparently coming to an end and the water that is trickling down his veins represents that something horrible has happened. Another synopsis which the symbol of ice being utilized by James Baldwin was when Sonny’s childhood friend approached Sonny’s brother and inquire about whether he heard about Sonny’s arrest or not. The friend tells Sonny’s brother that Sonny will be released and sent to rehab, then would be cured and later on be released from rehab, then Sonny get right back to square one where he start using drugs again. During this conversation Sonny’s brother feels the ice. This is a feeling of dreadfulness and fear. This feeling of fear dawned on the Sonny’s brother because he is now thinking that it was his responsibility to ensure that Sonny is in the best of health and mind.
Rudy took water on a cold day and poured it on the road so it would turn into ice, on this road a boy named Otto Sturm traveled it everyday with a basket of food. This was poor decision for Rudy to make, it shows his real character. On the other hand it was quite hysterical. Consequently, this reminds me of amazing times when I poured cold water our our deck and down the steps, during mid winter. Further, the water froze solid and each time one of my family member went out on the deck they would fall down or even better each time they tried to make their way back up it seemed like it took them an eternity.

The observation from what I saw was impressive to be seen in the class.In the research I learned that dry ice was made from degrees that are below than 10 degrees.You had as welll put in water to make the smoke effect work.Another thing is that be sure not to touch the plate beacause the plate is hot.It started boiling and crazy as well.
It was a special kind of ice. . . . Sometimes it hardened and seemed to expand until I felt my guts were going to come spilling out or that I was going to choke or scream” (Baldwin 180).... ... middle of paper ... ...

Polar ice is sea ice created from the freezing of sea water, ice sheets and glaciers. These in turn are formed from the build up and compaction of fallen snow. Both the ice sheets and glaciers cover vast areas of the Polar Regions. This polar ice is hugely important to our globe and takes up a large part of it. Global sea-ice coverage averages about 25 million kilometers square; this is the area of the entire North America continent. The ice sheets, which cover the land, with the glaciers cover about 15 million kilometers square; this is almost 10% of the Earth’s land area, with the majority on Antarctica (Earthobservatory.nasa.gov, 2013).
* It was almost impossible to tell when the Alka-Seltzer tablet had dissolved, each time the experiment was done. This was a huge problem for the experiment as this could have totally caused problems to the experiment. A special type of detector apparatus, which bleeped when the correct amount of Alka-Seltzer tablet dissolved, could improve this, each time the experiment was done.
. As I did my observation I wanted to see what the teacher was doing on her lesson and how she taught the lesson. As I came into the classroom I introduce myself I told the students who I was and what I would be doing in their class. I explain to them that I will be going in depth in science about Predictions. I ask the students if they can tell me anything about the Predictions project-will it float or will it sink. Majority of the students had prior knowledge about what will sink or what will float. The objects that the students are using are rubber bands, crayon, wooden stick, cotton ball, pencil, and a penny. The purpose of this project is to predict, make, and test what objects will sink or float. In this activity students will determine whether various objects sink or float in
chocolate, under the circumstances of a natural world. Such an experience does not only contribute to their better understanding of different processes happening around them but also teaches children to employ and rely on their senses. As a result, students receive an opportunity to investigate properties of chocolate and predict its reaction under different circumstances. Moreover, this experiment encourages children to employ evidence for creation of various testable predictions of other objects and natural phenomena. Elementary science, in its turn, will enhance students’ skill of analytical and critical thinking that allows either to support or refute different claims and
