Record temperature after ice melts.
2
Put ice in water.
Touch water to determine if it feels colder after ice melts.
3
Measure the mass of the water.
Put ice in water.
Measure the mass of water as ice cubes melt.
4
Determine temperature and mass of water.
Put ice in water.
Record the time for ice to melt.

Procedure 4 would be the best to investigate the transfer of kinetic energy as it involves determining the temperature and mass of water, as well as recording the time for the ice to melt. This procedure allows for a comprehensive analysis of the energy transfer occurring during the melting of the ice.
