Senior Infants observed ice melting. We noticed that the ice was melting very quickly at room temperature and when we placed it into our warm hands it melted at an even faster rate. We then talked about how the ice caps are melting in the Arctic and that even though polar bears can swim, they need to rest on the ice caps sometimes too. We played a game like musical chairs to help us understand. We all pretended that we were polar bears and when the music stopped we all stood on an 'ice cap' (piece of paper). By the end of the game, almost all of the ice had melted and there was only 1 polar bear left.
