Ice Melt Experiment Observations

The video tutorial demonstrates an experiment to observe how different landform shapes affect the rate of ice melt. Using materials like plasticine, tubs, and ice, two contrasting landforms are sculpted to simulate West and East Antarctica. Grids are created to measure the melting rate, and warm water is added to the setup. The experiment highlights the impact of landform morphology on ice melt, providing a visual comparison of the melting process.

What is the purpose of using plasticine in the experiment?

• To hold the ice in place

• To create the grids

• To sculpt the landforms

• To measure the temperature of the ice

How is the right tub sculpted in the experiment?

• Into a flat surface

• Into a dome shape with a barrier

• Into a pyramid shape

• Into a bowl shape

What is the purpose of the grids in the experiment?

• To quantify the rate of ice melt

• To hold the ice in place

• To decorate the tubs

• To measure the temperature

How are the grids secured onto the landforms?

• With glue

• With magnets

• With tape

• With pins

What is the significance of adding warm water to the tubs?

• To make the ice float

• To clean the tubs

• To ensure the ice melts at different rates

• To freeze the ice faster

In the experiment, what does the right tub represent?

• East Antarctica

• South Pole

• West Antarctica

• North Pole

What is the main observation task in the experiment?

• Measuring the height of the ice

• Counting the number of ice cubes

• Counting the number of visible grids

• Measuring the temperature of the water

How often should the number of visible grids be counted?

• Every five minutes

• Every minute

• Every two minutes

• Every ten minutes

What does the left tub represent in the experiment?

• West Antarctica

• East Antarctica

• North Pole

• South Pole

What is the main goal of the experiment?

• To see which tub holds more ice

• To create artistic landforms

• To compare the rate of ice melt on different landforms

• To measure the temperature of the ice
