Cooling Race Lab Reflection

What did I learn by doing this lab?

I learned about solid properties, how when the ice is smaller it melts more easily than a big chunk of ice.

What was hard and/or easy doing this lab?

The easy part was that all you had to do was watch ice melting and see how the temperature went down or up. Another part that was easy was getting all the 'ingredients' ready for the experiment, the materials, because it wasn't a complicated lab. The hard part in this lab was trying to answer the questions because they really went in depth and you had to observe and think a lot.

Choose one of each from the top question (hard and easy) and explain why.

It was easy to watch because you just had to watch and not do much else, although our patience was at a limit at the end, we were becoming very bored. It was very hard to actually understand and think about a reasonable answer, because the questions were so in depth and not obvious to answer.

  1. Very true, but the data you collected showed a definite pattern which was used to give a solid conclusion. You did very well. Sometimes science problems or questions aren't easy to answer...
