In this activity, learners of all ages can enjoy experimenting with ice. Try this experiment at the kitchen table or in the great outdoors to encourage budding scientists to experiment with ice.

This open-ended art project allows learners to create their own colorful ice sculpture by using rock salt and food coloring on a solid block of ice.

In this activity, learners will make their own slushies and learn some of the science behind how the process works.

In this activity, learners will explore basic information about thermodynamics by experimenting with ice. Learners will compare ice melting rates on metal pans or plastic cutting boards.

In this activity, learners explore how salt water freezes in comparison to fresh water.

In this activity, learners make pykrete by freezing a mixture of water and a material like cotton wool, grass, hair, shredded paper, wood chips, or sawdust.

In this activity, learners touch supercooled water drops with an ice crystal and trigger the water drops to freeze instantly.

This creative lesson plan provides a visual way for learners to gain knowledge about the finite amount of fresh water on Earth and encourages the discussion of the various ways to conserve this resour

In this activity, learners craft their own model of a comet on a stick to make it fly around the room.

In this activity, learners will explore how animal in cold areas stay warm.

In this activity, learners explore atoms as the smallest building blocks of matter. With adult help, learners start by dividing play dough in half, over and over again.

In this tasty activity, learners make their own ice cream any day of the year in an exploration of heat and cold. Highlights include freezing and melting and the transition from liquid to solid.

In this activity about the solar system, learners use various light sources to examine ice with different components to understand how NASA studies planets and moons from space.

In this activity, learners observe a quick phase change as water rapidly goes from a liquid state to a solid state.

In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

In this activity, learners will explore saturated solutions and discover how crystals form.

In this activity, learners act as water molecules and travel through parts of the water cycle to discover that it is more complex than just water moving from the ground to the atmosphere.

In this activity, learners use objects they find on a nature and water to make creative frozen sculptures.

“Exploring the Solar System: Ice Orbs” is a hands-on activity in which visitors investigate a frozen orb, trying to learn about objects hidden inside.
