My Second Experiment

Hello, me again! Today I'm going to be talking about my second experiment called "Ice Breaker."

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

The main part of this experiment is pulling a wire through ice. I know it sounds impossible, but it's not. If you want to do this experiment you'll need...
- One Large Cylinder Balloon
- Ice Weights ( You'll need two Balloons and a wire to make Ice Weights.)
- Colorless Cup
- Small tray (I used the Groovy Box Because It said so in the Book, So if you Don't have a Box, use a Tray.)
- Duct Tape
- Chopsticks
- Two Balloons ( One Blue, One Orange.)
- Copper Wire
- Parchment Paper
- Piece of Cardboard

1. Fill the Cylinder Balloon with tap water from the sink, knot the Balloon. (WARNING: Water Explosions may Occur, hold the balloon with your fore finger and thumb when handling the water.)








2. Fill the 2 Balloons with tap water.  (Make sure the balloons are the right size with the large cup, they should barely go below the rim, then knot the balloons.) Once the 2 Balloons are frozen in the freezer, tie the copper wire to the Balloons and now you have made the Ice Weights!















3. Place the Parchment Paper on to the Tray. Tape the Parchment Paper to the Tray with the Duct Tape.


4. Get the Chopsticks and the Piece of Cardboard and Duct Tape. Tape the Chopsticks on the Piece of Cardboard 1 cm. apart with the Duct Tape. The Chopsticks should be 10 cm. off the Cardboard















5. Take the Platform and put it on a table. The Chopsticks should be hanging off the table.


6. Take the Tray and put it on the floor right under the Chopsticks.


7. Get the Cylinder balloon and the Ruler, Measure 5 cm. of ice with the ruler.


8. Cut the Ice with a Sharp Knife. (Let an Adult do the Cutting.) Take the Piece of Balloon off the Piece of Ice.















9. Place the Ice on the Chopsticks.


10. Place some Books on the opposite side of the Platform. Then place the Ice Weights on the Ice.


11. Take Observations on the Ice every 5 min. You can watch the wire get pulled through the Ice.
















12. Put your Ice in the sink when your done the experiment.
