Science experiments for children – Ice and water.
There are many scientific experiments which have as their object the ice and water, and which can show even little children as some chemical reactions take place, and as ice behaves in a different way than water.
To demonstrate that ice is lighter than water, just dip an ice cube in the water and see it float. Why it is lighter?

Then you can fill a glass of water, up to half, mark the water line, add an ice cube and draw a second line. Wait for the ice to melt and observe. What happened?

Finally we can prepare many colorful ice cubes with different food coloring and create all possible combinations of color between them in various transparent glasses. How many colors can we do?
