ICE CUBES IGLOO

PROJECT

The Igloo is a toy from the family of S.T.E.M, it teaches two physical principles but in a fun way.
The toy is practically a silicone mold which hides special ice stones.
You fill the mold with water and put it in the freezer until it freezes, after the water are frozen you extract the ice stones and discover that the stones are different from one another, together they form an Igloo.
The igloo is constructed of three stacks, each stack is constructed from several stones, aech stone has a tenon and a mortise and so they are attached stably to form a solid and strong Igloo.
Practically the child is experiencing in states of matter and the challenge of building a dome of stones, the building is similar to the traditional building of the Igloo.
