Before you start, have the words ready: The words frost, melt and puddle, and the idea that warmth (sun, hands, warm air) does the melting.
What this worksheet teaches.
Ice is water gone cold, and warmth turns it back — melting has an order and a cause.
Reversible change — freeze it, melt it — is a first science law children can watch in a glass of water.
- State-of-matter words
- Ordering a process
- Predicting outcomes

Tips, questions and practice.
Say before you start: Ice is just water wearing its winter coat. Warmth takes the coat back off.
Questions to ask: What made the ice disappear? Where does the puddle come from?
Parent tips: Freeze a small toy in a cube before the session — the sheet predicts, the cube proves.
Home practice: Leave two ice cubes out — one sunny window, one dark shelf — and race them.
