2. Instant Ice

Materials needed for the number two on our list of simple chemistry experiments with everyday materials: Unopened bottle of water, a bowl of ice, clean glass

Let the bottle of water freeze in for about 2 hours and 45 minutes. After taking them out you can see that the water isn’t completely frozen. All the water needs in that moment is a sharp joint to the bottle and you can see the water freezing. You can also do something even more interesting with a bowl of ice. You need to open the bottle gently and pour the water into the bowl which will immediately crystallize and you can create your own ice sculptures. If you want to impress your friends, you can pour the water into a clean glass and drop a little ice right in the center and you can see how the ice crystal begins to grow and it fills the glass completely.
