Why Do Roads Get Salted? STEM Investigation — Lowering the Freezing Point

Created by
TWFScience

In this hands-on STEM investigation, students explore freezing point depression and phase changes by testing how adding different amounts of salt affects how quickly ice melts. Using real-world winter road safety as the context, students investigate why salt is spread on icy roads and how it changes
