Lifting Ice Cubes

You will need: 2 small cups for each child, water, ice cubes, salt, yarn cut into 3 inch sections.

• Partially fill cup 1 with water and put an ice cube in cup 2.
• Give a piece of yarn to each child.
• Wet the the yarn in the cup of water.
• Droop the yarn on top of the ice. Encourage them to try to lift it. Did it work?
• Sprinkle the “secret ingredient” onto the ice cube and yarn.
• Count to ten and gently lift the string!
