Water Bending - Ice Experiment
A couple of days ago I set up a little experiment for our 2 year old prodigy to show him how to turn super cooled water nearly instantly into ice using a process called nucleation. The way to do this is to put a bottle of purified water in the freezer for 2 hr 45 min. This will create super cooled water which is water that is below freezing temps but not frozen because of the lack of impurities. I used spring water and it worked fine. Next, carefully take the bottle out of the freezer because if you tap or shake it too hard it will start the process of nucleation and freeze solid inside the bottle. Pour the water into a container and touch an ice cube to the water which is what I did in the first picture. The water will turn to ice and capture the cube within a second or two. You can also put a few ice cubes into a container and carefully pour the water over them to do what I did in the video.
Enjoy!
