    What is the secret to the instant ice experiment?
    This is the secret to the instant ice experiment. Because bottled water doesn’t have any particles to start the nucleation process, the water can cool to less than zero degrees Fahrenheit before ice crystals form. But, once you introduce a crystal particle, the nucleation process begins and ice crystals form in the water.

  1. Carefully pour the water slowly onto the ice. It should start to form an ice tower right away. If it doesn’t, your water is too warm. Keep pouring gently until the ice tower stops forming. You can use other bottles from the freezer to make the ice sculpture even bigger.

    How do you make an ice tower experiment station?
    Set up your ice tower experiment station by placing an ice cube inside your jar. Place the jar on a plate or tray to catch messes. If you want a really tall tower, flip your jar upside down. Carefully carry the bottles to your instant ice station. Gently open the bottle and pour the water onto the ice cube.

    How do you make ice with a water bottle?
    Set the bowl upside down on a flat surface. Place an ice cube on the bowl. Quickly pour the water bottle over the ice cube. Watch as the water instantly turns into ice as it touches the ice. The science behind this experiment comes from the idea of supercooled water. Purified water can be chilled below freezing temperature and keep a liquid form.

    How do you make ice slush?
    The ice will immediately start melting into a thick slush. Sink eight bottles of purified water into each cooler (for a total of 16). Make sure the bottles are each evenly surrounded with ice or slush. Wait 25 minutes. Gently rotate the bottles in the ice or slush. Make sure you do not shake the bottles. Wait another 20 minutes.
