Water as a Solid and a Liquid.

Does water take up the same space if it is a solid and a liquid?

When the water is a solid it is ice. When the water is ice it takes up more space because we put ice in a jar and filled it to the top. Then we watched it melt. Now the jar is half full of water now that it is a liquid.
Full jar of Ice.
 At the end of the day the ice had kind of melted


The next day the ice had completely melted and it is now a liquid.

  2. Great photos Jett. Wow it is pretty amazing that it was full of ice and not even half full of water once it melted. Did anyone notice if the jar got warmer as the ice was melting....or is ice melted water just as cold as ice?????
