Water Science

Today we did a water experiment with ice and salt.  We got balls of ice in a bowl and then our teacher came around the tables with dye to put on the ice.  After we got the dye she came around with salt and we got to sprinkle it on the ice.  When we sprinkled the salt on the ice it started to crack, the dye helped us see the cracks.  We waited a bit until we got to go outside to crack the ice.  After we got outside it was time to crack them.  Each team went at different times.  Our group was last.  When we went we threw the ice up into the air and let it smash to the ground.  The bigger ones smashed more as the weight is heavier.  Because of this there was more force as it was falling.  Here is a picture.
