How will the ice water mix with the salty water? Write your hypothesis below.
Answer: If the ice water mixes with the salty water, then the ice melt will mostly remain in
a layer above the salt water, making the top of the water cooler than the bottom
Solution Hypothesis Describing Mixing Hypothesis Describing Temperature (Will
the top be warmer, cooler, or the same as
the bottom?)

Solution 1
Freshwater
If the ice mixes with freshwater,
then there will be even
distribution
If the ice mixes with the freshwater, then
the top will be slightly cooler than the
bottom
Solution 2
Salty Water
If the ice mixes with the salty
water, then there will be a thin
layer of melt water at the top
If the ice mixes with the salty water, then
the top will have a slightly cooler
temperature than the bottom, but the
difference is not by much
Solution 3
Saturated
Water
If the ice mixes with the
saturated water, then there will
be a layer of meltwater at the
top, and no real mixing will have
taken place
If the ice mixes with the saturated water,
the layer of meltwater at the top will be
much cooler than the bottom of the water

• Complete the data tables. At each interval, note the temperature at the top and bottom of
the glass. Sketch or use your computer to draw the way the ice melted into the different
solutions using the descriptions provided in your Student Guide
