More Rainy Day Science Magic

Ice Fishing!

First get a piece of string wet in a glass filled 4" hight with water. Next, put the wet string on the ice cube, sprinkle salt on the ice cube. Hold the string on the ice cube for 20 seconds. Then, lift the string! The salt helps lower the water's freezing point!

 First make a lump of playdough in the middle of a plate and put a candle in the center. Next, pour water around the lump of playdough. Light the candle and place a glass over the top of the candle. The candle will slowly go out and the water will get sucked up the side of the glass!

All of these experiments came from the book
