Ice Cube Experiment

Kids don t have to live in a cold climate to be fascinated with ice.

Ice cube experiment. To further understand this phenomenon let us do an experiment. In the following science experiments kids can watch ice molecules interact with water molecules try their hand as insulating an ice cube and learn how salt works together with ice as homeschool students lift an ice cube with a piece of string and then make ice cream. I wasn t sure how often to check on the ice but after performing this experiment i think that checking in 10 minute intervals is perfect. Nsf mid scale award sets off the first extension of icecube.

The project is a recognized cern experiment re10. In fact the hot days of summer make most of us crave ice. Ice floating over vegetable oil but it decreases in baby oil. The more you open the containers the faster the ice will melt.

Similar to its predecessor the antarctic muon and neutrino detector array amanda icecube. Its thousands of sensors are located under the antarctic ice distributed over a cubic kilometre. Check on the ice cubes every 10 min. The national science foundation has approved full funding to upgrade the icecube detector extending its scientific capabilities to lower energies and thus enabling icecube to reach neutrino energies that overlap with the energy ranges of smaller existing neutrino detectors worldwide.

The icecube neutrino observatory or simply icecube is a neutrino observatory constructed at the amundsen scott south pole station in antarctica. Before we started our simple science experiment we talked about what we thought would happen. And record the amount of melting. The lifting ice cube experiment demonstrates the melting and freezing properties of water which results to another property of matter called adherence.

We also examined some ice cubes and i asked my daughter about the properties of ice. My daughter did not think we could pick up the ice cube with the thread unless we tied the thread around the ice cube.
