“Do you live in an area that gets really cold in the winter? If you do, then you may have seen large trucks driving down the icy roads sprinkling salt over the ice. Have you ever wondered why they did that? It’s simple; salt + ice = a chemical reaction! The salt makes the ice melt and break down, making the roads safer for drivers.
Try this experiment with a few basic kitchen supplies to see how the salt reacts with the ice cube to pick up a piece of string.”
