| Place two identical tin cans on the stove. Pour 0.5 kg of water into one; put a few ice cubes of the same mass into the other. Notice how long it takes for the water in both cans to boil. Write a short report about your experience and explain its results.
When two identical tin cans with water and snow with the same weight of 0.5 kg are heated on a stove and boiling time is detected, we get a clear confirmation that boiling in a snow can is about 2.5 times later than in a water can (4 min. And 10 min.). This experience shows that significant energy is required to melt ice.
