The Bears and Elephants read 'Connected 1 2006'. The Connected series contain journals that combine Science, Technology and Maths with Literacy. We read the article, 'Ice Hotels'. To finish our reading contract, we tried making a model of an ice hotel. The two reading groups competed against each other to make the best ice hotel.
We sprinkled salt on the ice cubes to make them stick together. The salt made the surface of the ice melt faster, so that, when you pressed two salty surfaces together, they joined. This was very useful, practical science to know when building!
By the end of the day, the ice hotels had melted. Then we had a competition to see how long you could leave your hands in the icy water. After several rounds, Green was found to be the ultimate winner, but Charlize was a close second.
