Salt and Ice Lab Worksheet – Free Science Printable

A free printable science lab worksheet for comparing salted and unsalted ice, recording temperatures, and writing observations and conclusions.

Salt and Ice Lab worksheet with ice cube illustrations, hypothesis and procedure sections, a temperature observation table, and conclusion lines.

The Salt and Ice Lab Worksheet is a free printable science recording sheet for investigating what happens when salt is added to ice. Students develop a question, make a prediction, and compare ice with and without salt. They record temperature changes and observations before drawing a conclusion from their results.

Compare Ice With and Without Salt

This salt and ice experiment worksheet guides students through the scientific investigation process. First, they write their research question and hypothesis. Next, they list the materials and outline their procedure using five numbered spaces.

The observation table provides two conditions: ice without salt and ice with salt. Students record the starting temperature, then measure again after five and ten minutes. They also describe what happens to the ice in each condition.

After collecting their measurements, students write a conclusion and summarize what the data shows. This activity supports careful observation, temperature measurement, comparison, and evidence-based reasoning. Teachers can use the worksheet during a hands-on science investigation, while homeschool families can adapt the experiment to their available materials.
