I froze ice in different size containers over night. I used large yogurt containers, small yogurt containers, and to go containers from different restaurants. I used food coloring to dye them and I noticed that since I did not stir the food coloring in it made a deeper color on the bottom and on the top of the ice it was practically see through. It was a very cool coincidence it turned out looking so cool.
It was a lot of fun seeing which pieces could be stack on top of each other and which ones could not work. We talked about why we thought some did not work, the color we thought they would make when the melted and how would could break the ice into smaller pieces.
The only thing else I added was a spray bottle filled with warm water. It did not make a big enough difference to make the ice melt faster but it was a nice relief to spray on our hands when our hands were freezing from the ice.
When we were done playing with it we left it outside to keep track every hour on how fast the ice cubes were melting. We noticed the larger ice cubes melted the slowest compared to the smaller ice cubes. Also the end result of all the colors melted together as an awful green yellow color but it was a super fun to guess which color we thought it would turn out to be.
