Ice Experiment

  Ice Experiment

Today in science we were doing an ice experiment. It was a mixture of water, ice cubes and salt. We also used a match and a beaker. 

I was in a group with Hope and Ranit. The challenging thing about the experiment was when we had to try to stick the match onto the ice cube and try to pick it up, and also trying to take pictures while doing the experiment. The matchstick stuck onto the ice cube because the ice cube refreezes and freezes the matchstick in place. My group and I enjoyed doing the experiment and really found it interesting. 

Why do we put salt on icy roads?

So it can stop water, rain and snow from freezing. Salting icy roads and walkway lowers the freezing points of the water.
