Description
The Salt and Ice Trick is a fun science experiment that demonstrates the effects of salt lowering the freezing point of ice.
Ingredients
Ice cubes
Salt
Instructions
1. 1. Place some ice cubes on a flat surface like a tray or plate.
2. 2. Sprinkle a generous amount of salt over the ice cubes.
3. 3. Watch as the ice begins to melt quickly and forms water.
4. 4. Touch the ice and observe how it feels colder than normal ice due to the melting process.
5. 5. You can also try placing a metal object on the ice to see if it freezes to it due to the rapid temperature change.
Notes
This is a cool experiment to understand how salt affects the freezing point of water. Be cautious when touching the ice as the surface can get dangerously cold.
