Seabury Bumblebees

The Bumblebees enjoyed some exciting ice experimentation. Using something that everyone had at home, water and a freezer, the Bumblebees designed their own experiments, and had a great time doing it. Pictured are many of their experiments. Students told me about their experiments in our Zoom. They experimented with melting rates, excavation using Legos, toy animals, forks, meat tenderizers, screw drivers and hammers.  They tested the effect of salt and sugar on ice. They made ice of different colors, using colored water and dice which, when frozen, turned out to dye the dice the color of the water, or making ice jewels. They tried color combining, using red and blue food coloring to dye their ice purple. As always at Seabury, I am amazed by their ingenuity, creativity and willingness to think outside the freezer box! :)
