Winter Activities | Freezing And Melting Ice Science and STEM | K-5 PBL Bundle

Explore freezing and melting by taking this classic experiment up a notch with an ice fishing STEM Challenge. This multi-grade bundle includes an experiment, further exploration activity, reading passages, and a STEM challenge. Great for a science lab teacher or homeschool with multiple grades. Uses simple and inexpensive supplies.

Teachers will enjoy watching the students hold the ice cube with the string. We use it for family science fair workshops; parents and students love it. Having all 3-grade level versions allows for differentiation in the same class or throughout the grade levels. Limited on time, use the lower grade level.

Supplies needed:

cups, ice cubes, salt, string, water, timer, variety of strings, pie pans or plates, and basic STEM building supplies for fishing poles and ponds (Supplies can be modified. Just test first.)

Ice Cream In A Bag | Simple And Easy Recipe FREEBIE

Great for the classroom, science fairs, STEM Fairs, science clubs, scout groups, center time, homeschoolers, and anyone wanting to discover salt on ice.

The bundle includes the complete series. The kindergarten and first graders focus on 1 trial and only one change. The 2nd/3rd-grade version takes it up with 3 changes, 1 trial, and more writing. The 4th/5th/6th-grade version expands by providing 3 levels, performing 3 trials, and calculating the mode. More writing is expected. 2nd/3rd and 4th/5th include reading passages on the same topic but differentiated. All grades include a further exploration and Ice Fishing STEM challenge. If it is your student's first science and STEM unit, you may want to go one grade level down. At the end, use the ice cream in a bag recipe to review the concepts.
