• 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 choice to investigate the transfer of kinetic energy. This procedure involves determining the temperature and mass of the water, putting ice in the water, and recording the time it takes for the ice to melt. By measuring changes in temperature, mass, and time, it would be possible to observe the transfer of kinetic energy as the ice melts and the water absorbs the energy.
