1 Clear Glass
1 Ruler
4-6 Ice Cubes
Water

1. Put the ice cubes in the glass and fill the glass with water until the ice cubes float.

2. Measure the height of the water: _________________ (Did you remember the units of measure?)

3. Based on your hypothesis above, do you think the water level will go up or down as the ice melts?
