Ice expeirement

Today in science we had to make ice stick to a match. At first I thought it was impossible then me and my buddy's Anneleise and Ranit did it, it was so cool.

You have to put the match stick on top of the ice and then sprinkle salt on top and wait for 30 seconds and then the match stick will stick to the ice. 

The ice also brings down the level so the water freezes, so the ice can melt faster. 

This lets go of all the frozen energy when there is warm heat around it, so it all gets colder including the ice.

The ice cube freezes so it freezes the match stick to the ice.

The challenge to me was dropping the match stick on to the ice because it wouldn't stick straight away, it also kept slipping out of place.

Here are some photos of how the experiment went.

This experiment was awesome. I didn't believe this will work, but it did.

If you tried this do you think it will work?

Why do we sprinkle salt on icy roads?

To make the ice dissolve quicker so that cars don't slide on the ice.

Elephants Toothpaste

Do Elephants use this to brush their teeth?.

Today in science me and my buddy Vann made some elephant toothpaste.
The ingredients for elephant toothpaste is
:hydrogen peroxide.
:dish washing liquid.
:and mixing dry yeast with water.

The colour was a light green type of colour, and the smell was DISGUSTING!!! It sort of smelt like rotten eggs and vinegar.

Here are some photos of how it went.

POOF:

The yeast had a reaction with the other chemicals and that made the elephant toothpaste go POOF.

Doing science experiments are really fun to do.
