THE MELTANATOR

January is science fair time! Kyle has had the opportunity to work on his science fair project the last couple of weeks. His experiment was titled, "The Meltanator". During the time he was trying to decide what to do his experiment on, Kevin's mom fell on some ice and broke her ankle. This made Kyle do some thinking and he said he wanted to find out how to melt ice so nobody else would get hurt. (What a thoughtful boy!) So, he decided to do his experiment on, "What melts ice the fastest: mineral rock salt, sand or cat litter?"

He worked very hard to make sure his experiment was done right and was very concise in his measurements. In the end he found that mineral rock salt will melt ice twice as fast as sand or cat litter. Part of his conclusion statement said, "In the cold winter months when you want to melt the ice on your driveway, stock up on mineral rock salt and throw away the sand and cat litter."

We are very proud of the hard work he put into his experiment and also into his board!
