Instant Ice

What you need:

• Bottled water
• Glass or ceramic bowl
• Plastic tray
• Ice-cubes

Method:

1. Put water bottles in the freezer for two hours. Lay them on their sides for the best results, but try not to dent them.
2. Remove the water bottles from the freezer before they freeze. (You’ll know they’re ready when crystals form when you jostle the bottles.)
3. Place a ceramic bowl upside down on a flat surface (like a tray) to catch the water overage.
4. Place an ice cube on top of the pouring surface.
5. Then SLOWLY pour while instant ice forms!

• Food colouring

Method:

1. Fill the glass with 1 to 2 inches of water.

4. Drop an antacid tablet into the mixture and watch
