Frozen Experiment 🧊 ❄️💧
Evil Pea was up to his old tricks and managed to freeze all the vegetables (including himself)!
Reception became scientists this afternoon, to work out how to save the veggies and melt the ice but also keep Evil Pea frozen forever.
They explored a variety of different ways to melt the ice using salt, tinfoil and hot water. They all decided the best way to keep the Evil Pea frozen was by sticking him in the freezer!
Everyone then completed a writing task to write their prediction ‘it will melt’ and identify which method would be the best to melt the ice.
We checked on the veggies throughout the afternoon and identified that the hot water melted the ice the best ✅
