Kids Science Experiments - Freezing Water
Temperature Experiment
Freezing Water
Materials you will need:
• Water
• Freezer
• Small plastic container with a lid
Steps:
1. Fill the plastic container up with water.
2. Place the lid securely on the plastic container.
3. Place the container in the freezer, giving it plenty of time to freeze (over night would be good).
4. Take the container from the freezer.
What has happened to the water? When water gets extremely cold it changes its form and turns from a liquid (water) to a solid (ice). Water takes up more space when it freezes. As the water changes to ice it expands and pushes the lid off the container (as the ice needs more space).
