Discovery Day... Ice Magic

 Our experiment for the day was to pick ice out of our cup
without touching the ice with our fingers!
We all picked one ice cube from a bowl and put it in our cup.
 We talked about how we could perform this wonderful magic trick...
with salt!
 We sprinkled some salt on our ice and added a string to see if we could get the two to stick!
 And it did!

We discussed how the salt makes the ice melt and then some will refreeze which
makes the yarn stick to the ice cube.
We talked about the ocean and how it is made up of salt-water
and that is why the majority of the ocean does not freeze!
Very Cool!!!
