Do you have a freezer? If so can you get an empty yoghurt pots, butter containers or ice containers. Fill it with some water. Freeze as many as you can and we will be experimenting! You can put a small object inside, a penny, a toy (plastic) and then freeze it overnight. Wait for tomorrow to see what will happen!
