We did this for no other reason than I saw it on my all time favorite Blog Se7en and I thought it looked really cool!
First we froze a big block of ice in an empty icecream container. Then we dyed some rock salt different colours with food dye. Then we placed the rock salt on the ice block and observed what happened.
Here are some other fun looking science type links, take a look and if you get time to try any, tell us how you get along!
