Use Chemistry to Lift Ice Cubes

Have you ever wondered why salt is used to de-ice roads? Did you know that snow sticks more readily to a pavement that has been treated with salt? Why would this be the case? In this activity, you will use the same principles to hoist ice cubes with a piece of string. Is it possible to do this without getting your hands cold? Try the activity and see what a pinch of salt can do! Check out Use Chemistry to Lift Ice Cubes for the written instructions for this experiment.
