STEAM Lab: How Salt Melts Ice: A Cool Science Investigation!
Program Description
Event Details
| Why do we salt icy roads in winter? Join us for a hands-on science demo where kids experiment with ice cubes and salt to uncover the science behind melting ice! Participants will make predictions, test salted vs. unsalted ice, and watch in real time as salt changes the freezing point of water.Along the way, we'll explore how mixtures and solutions work, what freezing point depression means, and how this simple science plays a big role in our everyday world. Students will practice observation, data collection, and critical thinking while discovering the hidden power of salt.This STEAM Lab is designed for kids in grades 2-5 and promotes hands-on discovery, critical thinking, and scientific fun. Register online, at the Youth Desk, or call 928.777.1537. Prescott Public Library and Yavapai Exploration and Science are teaming up to offer school-age children a chance to experience STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) through interactive and engaging activities. Presented with funding from the Friends of the Prescott Public Library. |
