Freezing Experiment


Today, Carlee decided she wanted to make Orange Juice Pops. So we did. =) What a fun way to learn about how liquid freezes. We had to use a mini muffin tray, since we don't have an ice cube tray, but it worked. We talked about how the juice looked and felt before we put it in the freezer, and then checked on it throughout the afternoon studying its properties and progression. Finally, the pops were frozen! We then talked about what the juice looked and felt like when it was frozen. Carlee noted that it was very cold and hard. I asked her what she thought would happen to rain if it got really really cold. She said it would get really cold and freeze. =) She then enjoyed the orange juice pops for snack time. This was such a fun science lesson and she didn't even know that that's what it was!
