Ice Fishing




Lauren age 6‚ VA | Ice Fishing
I collected the things I needed. I tried salt and it worked. I tried pepper‚ cinnamon‚ and onion powder and none of them worked.


Jazmine‚ AR | Ice Fishing
well first I gathered the materials needed and got to work. When I started the salt worked. I then used sugar which also worked. When I did the pepper it stayed on ‚ but not for long. I also tried flour which did not work. In the end pepper ‚ salt and sugar went ice fishing!


Christine ‚ MA | Ice Fishing
i tried salt it workedfor 3 seconds.I also tried sugar which didn't work at all. cinnamin also did not work. black pepper‚ white pepper and lemon prpper didn't work either.I used 3 different length's of string‚ thread‚ rope and waxed string. I found that the thread worked best on the salt‚ the rope was way to thick‚ and the waxed string was too waxy. It was really fun doing this experiment!


Rory‚ WA | Ice Fishing
I tried salt‚ sugar‚ pepper‚ flour‚ polyethylene glycol‚ and nothing at all. The ones that worked were salt and sugar‚ but the others didn't.

Alayah and sister Ahn‚ WI | Ice Fishing
WE first got all the materials we put the salt on and we waited 30 seconds and after that the salt froze with the ice cube then we tried sugar which did not work the string just slip off the ice cube.probably cause the sugar is not like salt.


Taylor‚ MI | Ice Fishing

the most is the sugar


riggs‚ VA | Ice Fishing
when I tried to catch the ice the pepper did not work but the salt did but the sugar didn't though I couldn't figure out why


Aileen, WA | Ice Fishing
Man. I did this at school with salt and it fully worked! How awesome. I heard that sugar doesn't work very well from one of my friends, and I also heard from someone else that it didn't work at all. So I'm thinking maybe I should try it. But I dotn really want to, because the assignment is over. Well, I do have to write a 150 word essay on how it happened. Thats why I'm online now; to do some research. But now I digress. :]


Teresa, MI | Ice Fishing
