From Water to Ice and Ice to Water...

In Gan Reut we conducted two different science experiments with water and ice.  First we observed what occurs when we take food coloring and water, mix them together and freeze them.  (To be used for future art experiences.)  We then conducted an additional interesting science experiment using three bowls of ice cubes, flour, sugar, and salt. The Morot  took the three different baking ingredients  and poured one of them into each bowl of ice.  We tried to predict what might happen.  What the children actually observed was that the bowl of ice with the salt melted much faster than the ice with the flour or sugar.  We then concluded that in order to melt ice quickly one might pour salt over slippery sidewalks, streets and stairs covered with ice or snow.
