We performed and experiment with ice. We used small ice cubes to decide what we should use on icy roads in colder climates.
We put salt, black pepper, red pepper hot sauce, sugar, and warm water on the ice cubes. We left one plain as a control. We checked back several times to see which ones were melting the fastest.
*The warm water worked the fastest. We discussed how it would cool and make more ice.
*The next one was salt. We decided it was the quickest and safest "melter."
*Sugar worked almost as quickly as the salt.
*The red pepper hot sauce worked a little quicker than the black pepper and control.
*Black pepper melted at the same rate as the control.
The kids had a blast.
