Our LAST Science Fair, hooray!!!

Thankfully, this was the last year for Science Fair.  We have been doing it for 10 years straight and it is getting difficult to come up with new and interesting ideas.  Brigham's idea this year was to work with ice instead of fire, what a nice change.  However, we discovered fire is much faster than ice.  The experiment was to change the temperature of the ice with the metal wire through pressure.  So, this is the ingenious way that we "weighted" the wire.

 Then you need to let the wire do the work.  The difficult part about this experiment was temperature control.  Putting the experiment in the fridge or freezer didn't work, because then the wire was the same temperature of the ice.  Therefore, the results were kind of all over the board.  However, we did accomplish the goal of getting the wire to sink into the ice and then the ice re-formed over the wire completely encasing it in the ice cube.
