Answer:
1. why does a drink get cold when ice cubes melt?
Drinks dont get cold as ice melts, the cold ice absorbs some of the heat from the water (Or transfers some of it's cold to the water, this doesn't actually happen but it's a good way of imagining it). The same thing is happening, energy is being taken away from the drink. As the ice absorbs heat from the drink, thus cooling it down, the ice will start to melt as its particles gain energy. Ice melting does not itself cause the drink to cool down.
2. What is the melting point?
The melting point is the temperature at which a substance changes from solid to liquid. The melting point of water is 0°C (32°F)
3. Does size or amount of a material affect its melting point?
No but it may affect how long it takes to melt.
4. What happens to molecules as something freezes?
The molecules loose energy and arrange themselves into a fixed shape.
5. How do melting and freezing why glaciers are getting smaller?
Glaciers are getting smaller because the trapped heat due to global warming is causing them to melt
