Ice Melting Kit

Product Code : SLE/H/09

Ice Melting Kit (Product Code: SLE/H/09) is a surprising demonstration of thermal conductivity built around 2 identical-looking squares. Place a piece of ice on each: on one square the ice starts melting immediately, while on the other it remains unchanged. The puzzle grabs students’ attention and leads straight into a discussion of how heat moves through materials, making it a memorable hands-on science kit for primary and middle school. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Typical Use

Before adding ice, ask students to touch both squares and say which one feels colder. Most will pick one of them, even though both have been sitting in the same room at the same temperature. Then set an ice cube on each square at the same moment. The ice on the square that felt colder begins to melt at once, because that square conducts heat from the room into the ice quickly; on the other square, which conducts poorly, the ice hardly changes. The same idea explains why that square felt colder — it was drawing heat out of fingers faster.

Use the result to challenge the common idea that some materials are “naturally cold”, and link it to real examples like metal railings in winter or a tiled floor versus a carpet. For a stronger lesson, let groups record how long the ice takes to disappear on each square and write their own explanation before the teacher reveals it. Wipe the squares dry afterwards. It is an easy, low-mess addition for teachers building a science kit for students in India.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the kit work?
The two squares look identical but conduct heat very differently, so ice melts immediately on one and stays unchanged on the other.

What materials are the squares made of?
The listing does not state the materials. If you need them for lesson planning or a tender specification, please contact us.

Does it need power, heating or chemicals?
No. Only ice is needed; the squares work at room temperature.

Which age group is it for?
It works well from primary level upward because the effect is visible without measurement, and older students can add timing and explanation.

How do I care for the squares?
Dry them after each use and store them flat so the surfaces stay clean and undamaged.

Can we order one kit per group?
Yes. Tell us how many kits (SLE/H/09) you need and where to deliver, in India or overseas, and we will quote accordingly.
