In this task, you will prepare two pieces of ice with different shapes and propose a hypothesis.

estimated time to complete:
total time: 4 hours, 20 minutes
active time: 20 minutes

you will need these materials:

1 small sealable plastic bag, approximately 3 in. × 6 in.
1 teaspoon
1 empty ice cube tray
tap water
part a
ice piece 1 is a near-rectangular solid with a top surface measuring 1.5 inches by 1 inch; ice piece 2 is an irregular flat shape with an approximate surface area of 3 inches by 6 inches

you’ll soon make two pieces of ice with the approximate shapes shown in the image. both pieces of ice have the same mass and volume. how are the two shapes different from one another?
