Frozen: Icy Experiments

Turn water into ice... magically!

For this experiment, you will need to put a bottle of filtered water in the freezer for about 3 hours (check on it every 15 minutes after two and a half hours). You will also need a bowl of crushed ice.

· The idea is to get the bottled water just above the freezing point (0°C) so that it's still liquid. Pour the supercooled water into a glass.

· Next, put your finger in the bowl of crushed ice. (You only need a little bit on your finger.) Then put your finger into the glass of supercooled water. It's magic!


Make an icy structure

For this experiment, you will need to put a bottle of filtered water in the freezer for about 3 hours (check on it every 15 minutes after two and a half hours). You will also need a container of completely frozen water.


· Carefully pour the supercooled water on the ice and, as if by magic, an icy sculpture will form. Try to build a tower, or even Olaf before the ice starts to melt!
