Melting, boiling and evaporation — practice question

A student uses ice cubes to investigate how long ice cubes of different masses take to melt when they are placed in water.
(main)[6]

Plan an experiment using ice cubes to find out how the mass of ice changes the time needed for the ice to melt. In your plan, briefly describe how the investigation should be carried out, state the key variables that should be kept the same, draw a table with column headings showing how the readings will be recorded, and explain how these readings can be used to draw a conclusion.
