Ice Marble Experiment

Those bubbles that you can see are bubbles of carbon dioxide.

Ice marble experiment.

Fill the test tube 3 4 full with salt. Make these ahead of time. One might think that since the marble is much more dense than the salt it will sink to the bottom when the sand is. The glass supplies another inward pushing force that keeps the marble moving in a uniform circular motion against the wall of the glass.

This project takes several hours overnight is even better for the jelly marbles to hydrate and the ice to freeze. The vinegar that we add is an acid. The marble gravitron is a smaller version of what you can experience on the amusement park ride of the same name. All of the ice particles are closely compact.

Pour some salt over the ice marbles. Matching clear containers i used our jumbo test tubes it adds to the feeling of official scientist status at least two different liquids we tested water vegetable oil baby oil and corn syrup. The inertia of the spinning marble is an outward pushing force. In subsequent testings we added maple syrup shampoo and some different cooking oils.

What if we kept the location temperatures the same could something else effect how quickly the snow or ice since all of our snow is gone melted. And that the less textured the ramp s surface was the farther the marble would roll. When we take frozen marbles out of the freezer or from the back porch ice particles begin to gather heat energy from the air. Hydrate your jelly marbles the day before you want to freeze your candle holders.

That s why ice keeps a fixed shape. Place the marble on top of the salt. To do this just drop your jelly marbles into a bowl with water. When we mix the acid and the base vinegar and baking powder we get a chemical reaction.

If you are planning on using the ice marbles for a science experiment you will need salt and droppers we used old plastic medicine droppers. Experiment like a real scientist. Experiment icy jelly marbles candle holders. All things are made of particles including ice.

The purpose of this experiment is to find out whether the texture of a surface will affect the distance rolled by a marble and if so which ramp surface a marble will roll the farthest on. Rpl s teen librarian demonstrates how to make your own decorative balloon ice marble plus a second attempt at last week s balloon skewering experiment. The science behind the experiment. Melting ice experiment in our snow science experiment we looked at which location would melt the snow first.

As our ice volcano is made from baking powder it is a base or alkali. This experiment looks at. Fill up a couple cups with water and food coloring and use the droppers to dispense the colored water over the ice marbles and watch the salt create crevices for the. The trick is to get the ball from one end of the tube to the other through the salt.

Ice particles do not have enough energy to move. Seal the end of the test tube with a cap or a cork.
