SUPPLIES
Step 1 – An adult should help with this step. Fill the pot 2-3″ high with water. Put a block of wax in a jar and set it in the water. Turn the stove on low and wait for the wax to melt.
Step 2 – Fill the other jar with water.
Step 3 – An adult should help with this step. Cut a square of wax in the shape of an ice cube and set it aside.
Step 4 – Get an ice cube out of the freezer and set it aside.
Step 5 – An adult should help with this step. When the wax is melted, pull the jar out of the pot and set the it next to the jar of water.
Step 6 – Drop the ice cube in the water and the wax cube in the melted wax. Watch what is different. Why might that be?
