Today the children went to Ms. Jackson's class for "ice fishing." They sprinkled salt onto an ice cube, the ice melted a little bit. A small pool of water formed on top of the ice and they dropped the end of a string on top. Then the pool of water froze back again, trapping the string. Cool! Explanation: The molecules in a solid are close together and don't move. The molecules in a liquid are spread out and can move. When a solid gets warm enough, the molecules start to move and get farther apart. A solid turns into a liquid...this is called melting!
Ms. Jackson reported that our class did a fabulous job.Well done!
