Ice Experiment

Ice Experiment


Today my class and I did an interesting experiment in science. We did it in groups of threes, in my group there was Kody and Matua. We used 3 ingredients called cold water, ice and salt. We also used a match and a beaker. The experiment was really enjoyable and interesting. The challenging part of this experiment was when we had to try and stick the match onto the ice cube. Another challenge was trying to take a photo without water dripping on the chrome book. Our first attempt didn't work but our second attempt did work so we were happy when it worked. The matchstick stuck onto the ice because the ice cube refreezes and freezes in matchstick in place. My group and I really had fun and found it interesting because the matchstick stuck to the ice cube.

Why do we put salt on icy roads?
To stop water, rain and snow from freezing. Salting icy roads and walkways lowers the freezing points of the water. It will helps our waterways from freezing.
