Today we conducted an experiment using ice and salt.  Several friends had asked why we put salt on the side walks so this experiment was inspired by those questions.  The kids were able to take the salt and sprinkle it onto blocks of ice,  watching as the salt created holes and tunnels.  After some melting had occurred everyone added drops of color using eye droppers.  As the color filled the melted tunnels everyone could clearly see how the salt had melted the ice in beautiful designs.  Many of our friends stayed for a long time thinking of ways to melt the ice further.  Some put the ice in bowls of colored water while others re-collected the colored water from the trays and poured jars of it over the ice.  Everyone had a chance to learn through this exploration.
