Additional Details
Ice Melting Blocks - Explore Thermal Conductivity!
Touch these two black blocks, and one feels cooler. Place an ice cube on each block. One cube completely melts before your eyes, while the other stays frozen! Surprisingly, the "cooler" block melts the ice faster! This discrepant event introduces many concepts, including heat transfer, change of state, and thermal conductivity. Kit contains: 1 black aluminum block, 4" square, 1 black high density foam block, 4" square, and 2 O-rings, 3.75" diameter with Instructions included.
Products being sold are not toys. They are for Educational / Laboratory use only. They are not for use by children 12 and under.

Standards
ELEMENTARY
- 2-PS1-1
- Describe and classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties.
- 4-PS3-2
Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by heat currents.
MIDDLE SCHOOL
- MS-PS1-1
- Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and their structures or properties.
- MS-PS3-3
- Apply scientific principles to design, construct, and test a device that either minimizes or maximizes thermal energy transfer.
- MS-PS3-4
Plan an investigation to determine the relationships among the energy transferred, the type of matter, the mass, and the change in the average kinetic energy of the particles as measured by the temperature of the sample.
HIGH SCHOOL
- HS-PS3-4
- Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that the transfer of thermal energy when two components of different temperature are combined within a closed system results in a more uniform energy distribution among the components in the system (second law of thermodynamics)."
