If you fill a glass with ice cubes to the top, then fill the same glass with water until one more drop and it will over flow. When the ice melts will the glass over flow the sides of the glass?

No. When the ice melts, the water level will lower. Water expands when it freezes, so when it thaws, the total volume in the glass will be reduced.
