When exploring the properties of matter, ice is a fun way to introduce solids as you can manipulate it to a liquid, gas and back to a solid.
We don’t get the chance to experience much of an icy white winter here in Florida. The closest we’ll get to ice is from our freezer! Whether you step outside to grab some ice or just walk to your freezer door, you are in for some fun hands on ways to explore the properties of ice with these videos of science experiments with ice.
These videos have been added to a YouTube playlist for your convenience. Listed below, you will find a description of each title. Adult supervision is encouraged for all experiments. We hope you enjoy your explorations with ice!
