PURPOSE: The purpose of this experiment is to improve my ability to observe an experiment. In addition, it will help aid me in making proper observations while also drawing conclusions.

Once I dropped my ice into the 100 degree water the ice floated; however, I noticed the little bumps on top of the ice stayed above the water while the rest was flush with the water (maybe like an iceberg). Next, I could see the blue stream downwards from the ice-cube to the bottom of the cup. I also noticed the ice cubes stayed next to one another and as the ice melted, it would periodically flip on its side. Since I timed this experiment, I know the ice cubes melted within seconds of each other at 2 minutes 3 seconds and 2 minutes 10 seconds. During the melting process, I watched the temperature gradually drop to 80 degrees. Once the ice cubes completely melted, the water appeared uniformly light blue. Lastly, I repeated steps five-seven and the results were nearly the same with slight temperature/melting time …show more content…
What are the implications for a person making an ice sculpture from a 400 pound block of ice?
This one is rather hard; therefore, I had to do some research and learned that a person will have to know a lot about the surrounding temperature as this will play a part in how long the sculpture will last. More importantly, the thicker the structure of an ice block the greater chance you have of it not breaking or melting too fast. https://www.iceicemaybe.com/how-long-does-an-ice-sculpture-last/
What do you think that this means for crystallizations in general (since ice is crystallized water)?
Crystallization is the physical transformation of substances like liquid, therefore, the water undergoes a physical transformation from water to crystallized water. These two are both the same substance; they are just in a different physical state (liquid to solid). Furthermore, this proves crystallization occurs as substances change from one state to another.
Did you observe about how much of the ice cube was above the surface of the
