It's the Ice Age!

What happens when you have a block of ice, dinosaurs inside and some tools to chisel?
We have palaeontologists! 
How can we melt the ice faster? Just like outside in the winter we sprinkle salt. 
But I can't see how the salt is working. Let's add some food colouring, and we will see just how deep the salt melts the ice.
The children loved this science experiment. We did it for 4 days.
Other connections they made: mixing colours, ice melts and makes puddles, dinosaurs where frozen in ice a long time ago, table salt you can eat but rock salt is for the sidewalk, ice is very cold.
