It has been so hot here lately that I was really happy to do my Science "lesson" last Thursday.  I was looking at what happened when different liquids were frozen - boy, was it fun!  I started off by freezing some water in an ice lolly (popsicle)  mould over night.  Then, I mixed up a soft drink and added some sugar to the mixture - then that was also frozen over night.

The next morning, I took the frozen lollies out of the freezer and had a good look at them - the frozen water looked like a giant ice cube with white lines running through it; the frozen drink looked totally different.

Than came the fun part - I got to bite into the lollies.  The frozen water was very difficult to bite into, I almost broke my teeth!

The frozen drink was much easier to bite and it also tasted much more refreshing on a hot day.

The reason?  The sugar I added to the drink made the molecules less easy to bind together - so the lolly was easier to bite into!
