Do all Liquids Freeze? Initial ideas/concepts My initial thought was the tap water and salty water would freeze, while the other material would not get cold enough to freeze. I already knew that different substances freeze at different temperatures. My predictions and the majority of the classes predictions stated the same thing. The big question was whether vegetable oil or vinegar were going to freeze half of the class stated one would and the other half of the class stated the other would freeze. What you observe In class we examined all five liquids and identified the ones that froze. The five liquids were already in the freezer and froze by the time class started. Water and vinegar were frozen solid, while alcohol, and salty water …show more content…

After trying the experiment with a small battery we tried it with a bigger battery to see if the liquid would conduct enough electricity to light the light bulb. After going through all of the different liquids the light bulb still did not light. This was a big shock because I figured one of the liquids would conduct enough energy to light the lightbulb. There was a tool in class that allowed observes to see how much each liquid conducted electricity. All of the liquids conducted, but the salt solution was the best conductor. Conclusions you have drawn based on the …show more content…

Ion’s conduct electricity in lights, and the amount of ions in each liquid matters. Distilled water would not conduct electricity because there are no ions to produce electricity. Reflect on aspects of the Experiment you did not understand or would have liked to explore further After doing this experiment I am interested in how a potato lights up a light. I remember growing up and watching different shows that showed a potatoes lighting a light, but in class we never experimented or explored this topic. After doing this experiment I would like to explore why or if a potato lights a light bulb. I would be interesting in learning why a potato can light a lightbulb, and what material is in a potato to conduct electricity. Also, I would like to focus on why the liquids did not light the light bulb the first time and we had to look through an amplifier. What you could do to understand these
