Real Life Science Experiment

Fighting Ice

Materials Needed Part 1: Bowls, Ice, Pepper, Gain, Splenda, Salt, Something to label bowls and content, Suavitel( fabric softener), timer

Step 1: Set out bowls and label each bowl with the following titles: ICE ONLY, ICE + SALT, ICE+ PEPPER, ICE+ SPLENDA, ICE+GAIN, ICE + SUAVITEL

Step 2: Measure out a tablespoon of each of the following items: Salt,Pepper, Gain, Suavitel, and Splenda

Step 3: Place 2 ice cubes in each bowl.

Step 4: Sprinkle the different products on each ice cube in the corresponding bowls.

Step 5: Record the time.

Step 6: Observe often and record your findings!

Here's what I discovered:

PART 2 Salt Water vs. Pure Water

Materials Needed: Ice tray, water, salt, tabelspoon, freezer

Step 1: Fill the ice tray up with water.

Step 2: Mark top row and bottom row( I used stickers to differentiate between the two).

Step 3: In one of the rows, place half a tablespoon of salt into each compartment of water.

Step 4: Place tray into freezer and observe.

Step 5: Check often to see which one freezes first!

What I found:

After the tray had been in the freezer for 1 hour, I checked the progress. It appeared as if the salt water was unchanged, and the pure water was starting to form a solid layer on top.

After two hours, the water that contained no salt was completely frozen; the water that contained salt was just starting to form a solid layer.

After 3 hours in the freezer, the water containing ice was completely frozen.

It took 3 times longer to freeze salt water than it did to freeze pure water!
