Do you know how to keep ice for longer? Today we are exploring what materials delay melting of the ice better. The fact that clothes keep us warm confuses some children in thinking that the more materials we wrap around an ice cube, the hotter it is going to get inside. So make sure you ask children what they think is going to happen with the ice before going to the second part of the experiment.
