Experiment Number Answer People Who Tried It
1EXPERIMENT: Melting moments
The floating ice cubes displace (push aside) their own weight in water. In fact, they are made of water themselves, but with lots of tiny air bubles trapped with it. It is these that make ice cubes float. When the cubes melt, the air escapes, and the water left weighs exactly as much as the water it had displaced. So the glass does not overflow!		Leah Nasgowitz,

2EXPERIMENT: Conductivity
The metal spoon conducted heat much better than the other materials.
