Ice Water

Mrs. Charles put five ice cubes in a glass.  After 20 minutes, most of the ice had melted to form "ice water."  There were still some small pieces of ice floating in the water.  Mrs. Charles measured the temperature of the ice water then added five more ice cubes to the glass.  She measured the temperature three minutes later.  What do you predict happened to the temperature of the "ice water" three minutes after she added more ice?

A.  The temperature of the "ice water"increased.
B. The temperature of the "ice water" decreased
C.  The temperature of the "ice water"stayed the same.

Tell which answer that best matches your thinking.  Explain what happens to the temperature of "ice water" when more ice is added.  Remember to explain your thinking!

  1. b because when the ice melts and when you add even more it get colder so the tempature get lower

  3. I think the answer is B because when you add more ice the temp gose down and if you add more and more it decreased.

  4. I think it's B because when you add more ice the temperature deceases because ice is colder than water

  5. I think it is b because when putting more ice the water is colder so the temp has decreased

  6. i think a. beacuse ice is at least -0..it would eventionally get warmmer as the ice melts though.

  7. I also think it is B because temputure of the water is lower than the temuture of the ice.

  8. I think it is B because you put 5 in then you check the temp of the water after you added 5 more it decreases because it has less time to melt.

  9. B beacause it would melt and get colder.

  10. OH Mrs.Charles the caterpillar I found was a Banded Sphinx (Eumorpha fasciata).

  11. I think that is is A, because when the ice melted the water became colder and ice is already cold then you put it with cold water is becomes colder then the ice goes into the water so that is why I think that A is the answer.

  12. I think the temprature dropped because you added more ice to the glass after 3 minutes to make the water colder.

  13. Hi I found a new body fact the left side of your body is controlled by the right side of your brain while the right side of your body is controlled by the left side of your brain.

  14. i think b becaus if you add ice to normal water it get coled but if you add ie to ice water it will get even colred.

  15. B:because she added more cold ice the tempeter decreased.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I think its A or C because three minutes after it could stay the same or since ice is cold that the temperature of the water could raise up.

  17. I think the water temperature will stay the same because the melting point always stays the same. The ice is melting so the tempature will be at 0 celcius

  18. I disagree with Nicole W because if you are adding more ice in the water and and you check the temperature three minutes later most of the ice should have melted and the ice that melted would be cold water.

  19. C the temperature will stay the same, because it is not going to get any colder or else it will freeze

  20. I think B because the ice is cold so the tempature will get colder.

  21. I think that before she added the extra cubes and the cubes before became ice water, the temperture increased but when she added the extra ice cubes and took the temperture 3 minutes later, the temperture decreased because by adding the ice, it made the water colder which made the teperture increase. I think the answer is B.

  22. i thank that the water tempature is going to be colder and decrease :)

    ReplyDelete
  23. B I think it will decraese because if you add more ice the water will get colder.

    ReplyDelete
  24. sorry when I said it made the water colder which made the temperture increase, I meant to say decrease

    ReplyDelete
  25. I think that it will be B because the air in a room is a lot hotter than a ice cube

    ReplyDelete
  26. i think its B because if you add more ice it will decrease

    ReplyDelete
  27. I know that the temp goes up.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I think the answer is c because she adds more ice but It melts at the same time.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I think the tempeture of the ice will increase because of the heat.

    ReplyDelete
  30. i think it increase because the temp and heat when you put the added ice.

    ReplyDelete
  31. it decreased because the more ice you put in it the more cold it gets

    ReplyDelete
  32. The temp. will proabably decrease because the ice is colder than the water.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I agree with Emma, it is B because It will decrese, If you add ice to water it will get colder.

    ReplyDelete
  34. i think its b because ice makes water colder

    ReplyDelete
  35. I think B because the more ice you put in, the colder the water gets.

    ReplyDelete
  36. i think its b because if you add ice to the water the tempature will decrease.

  37. I agree with Steven because. Ice makes the water colder.

  38. I agree wuth you too Arman because when i put my waterbottle last night I picked it up the next morning and it felt soooooooooooooooo cold! More cold then you think! so yeah Arman I agree with you

    ReplyDelete
  39. I think its b, because the more you put ice into it then the more the temperature is going to go down.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I agree with you Melanie. The water first got warmer and then when we put the ice in, it got colder. I think B

    ReplyDelete
  41. B is correct because the ice is 0 degrese celcius and the water is a higher temp.

    ReplyDelete
  42. i thing it is c because when we did the project today the tempeture of the ice water stayed the same

    ReplyDelete
  43. I think the answer is B because ice makes the water colder, so it decreases!
    I agree with Georgia.L.

    ReplyDelete
  44. The answer might be C though, but not sure.

    ReplyDelete
  45. my answer is B because when she added more ice cubes the temperature dropped.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I think that the water will stay the same because it is areldy at 0 C so it will stay the same.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I think it will be the same so C and I agree with Samuel
    :)

  48. this experament today was awesome i think of any other better experamant

    ReplyDelete
  49. I think the answer is B because putting Ice in water makes water colder .

  50. I think Jaikin is correct because ice makes water colder.
