Can you make something stick to ice? Try an easy thermodynamic experiment using salt to make ice stick to a piece of string. Gather a bowl, ice, string, salt and water for this challenge with Librarian Vinnie.
STEM Challenge is created by the San Francisco Public Library from our librarian lab. Stay STEM-tastic by reading, learning and experimenting at home. Visit www.sfpl.org/stemchallenge for more resources.
In response to feedback from our Black community and staff, we updated the original name STEM Challenge Yo’Self to STEM Challenge on July 19, 2021. We recognize the original title is appropriated from Black vernacular and perpetuates racism, and has caused harm to our Black/BIPOC community members and staff. Our library is working towards being an anti-racist institution and committed to doing better.
