Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. 10 minutes or less.

For grown-ups

Your child knows cold freezes water into ice, and warmth melts ice back into water. We suggest reading it together.

What children learn in Level 23

When water gets very cold, it freezes. It turns hard. That's ice!
When ice gets warm, it melts. It turns back into water.
The freezer makes ice. The sun, or your warm hands, melt it.
Your turn! Mia puts water in the freezer. What does it become? Ice!
Try it with a grown-up! Freeze a little water, then leave the ice in a sunny window. What happens?
