Melting is when a solid, like ice, turns into a liquid, like water. This happens when the ice gets warmer. Think of it like giving the ice energy to move around more!
People have been watching ice melt for, well, forever! But understanding why it happens took a bit longer. Scientists learned that it's all about energy and how molecules move. When something gets warmer, its molecules start moving faster. In the case of ice, they move so fast that they break free from their solid structure and become a liquid.
Melting is everywhere!
Yes! Melting is reversible. This means you can turn the water back into ice by freezing it. When you put water in the freezer, you are taking away energy (heat) from the water. This slows down the water molecules, and they come together to form solid ice again.
Freezing is the opposite of melting. It's when a liquid turns into a solid.

What happens?
The ice cube in the sunny spot will melt the fastest because it gets the most heat!
Melting is a change from solid to liquid when heat is added, and it's reversible! You can freeze the liquid back into a solid by taking away heat. Understanding melting helps us see how energy and temperature affect the world around us.
