Materials: one ice cube for each student Directions: Melt an ice cube as fast as you can, using the following three rules: 1. You cannot put the ice cube in your mouth 2. You must collect as much of the melted water as possible (decide how you will collect the water) 3. You can only use what is at your desk right now

We'll also talk about the always contentious and seemingly ever-growing term of copyright.
