In science, we did another cool experiment. The name of the experiment is called the ice experiment because we used ice and a match. Science is always fun because of the experiments.
What Happened?
What happens is the ice and the salt together makes the ice dissolve.
If you put salt, a little stick and ice together you put a little bit of salt on the match and the match should stick to the ice and the ice should come up with the matchstick. Also, some groups were trying to make it but they took almost 20 minutes. Our group was the first one to do the experiment I think we followed the instructions. If you don't follow the instructions it will not work.
What do you need:
A bowl of cold water
A matchstick
An ice cube
Table salt
Instructions:
Place the ice cube carefully in the bowl of cold water
Gently place the match lengthwise on top of the ice and try to lift the ice cube
Put the matchstick back on the ice and sprinkle a little salt along the line where it touches the ice cube
Wait for 30 seconds and then attempt to pick up the ice cube again
Why do we sprinkle salt on icy roads? Because the salt makes the ice melt faster to lower the freezing.
