Learn about how salt affects the melting temperature of ice in this experiment. As your ice melts, rivulets of water will form and it will create artwork when you just add some food coloring! Show off your artwork to your friends, and see how more or less salt affects the experiment, or change the size and shape of the ice you create!

Magnets have a north and south pole. While opposite poles attract, similar poles repel. Using super strong magnets, your hands, and even a car, you can test the interactions magnets have with each other and other metals. Try it out for yourself to see just how strong the magnetic force can be!

In this activity, you will observe how capillary action causes these paper towels to create a rainbow of color. Can you think of other times capillary action takes place in nature?

Hydrogen atoms in one molecule are attracted to the oxygen atoms in another water molecule. This causes the water molecules to cling to each other, which in some cases creates surface tension in water, but in this case, it causes hundreds of small bubbles! Try it out yourself, then add food coloring to make the bubbles more colorful!
