Makes tasty glaciers, MMMMMMMM.

anywhere you have sugar maples\n\nand 3-6 weeks of warm days w/ freezing nights\n\n10 gal. of sap makes 1 gal. of syrup

salts prevent ice from melting,or the best way is put it in the freezer!!!!!!

if it is not a serious case for a quck relief i suggest u to dissolve 5 teaspoonful of sugar and dissolve it in  a half glass of water and drink it.\nit would work.

It Increases the melting. Try It to find out

DRINK WATER AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE\nWASH UR FACE AFTER COMING FROM OUTSIDE\nEAT COLD FRUITS

Stay off it! Keep ice on it for a few minutes at a time. And maybe keep it elevated.

Cold water is the best in this situation. Ice is too cold and can damage the surrounding area.

Not a substance, but a very effective device. Yaktrax attached to the bottom of your shoe/boot etc. will work very well on any snowy, icy slick surface. The basic model is $19.95 and the extreme (if you jog or run on snow/ice) is $29.95. Check them out at www.HerringtonCatalog.com

No. Simple syrup is simply a single cup of water and a single cup of sugar. Since you are simply heating the water to dissolve the sugar, maybe even to a boil, it isn't getting hot enough to change the molecular structure - you are only dissolving it into the water. \n\nDissolving doesn't change the chemical components of the solute, it simply breaks the bonds that hold it into the crystal stage.

Freeze.  They can bring you back when they find a cure :)

please do not do this for a science project.  too common.  but if you really want to know...most ppl get a small coke bottle and mould clay around it to get the mountain shape.

water won't expand the ICE will. otherwise its not frozzen...I'm sorry that was nit picky. *hides in corner*

'Each year, as the ice begins to skim Minnesota’s lakes and ponds, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources receives hundreds of phone calls from anxious anglers who all have the same basic question: "Is the ice safe yet?" That’s when I whip out my trusty stock answer: "No, ice is NEVER safe."\n\n[...]\n\nHere are a few general guidelines for use by winter recreation enthusiasts to lessen their chances for an icy dip or worse. It’s impossible to judge the strength of ice by its appearance, thickness, daily temperature, or snow cover alone. Ice strength is actually dependent on all four factors, plus water depth under the ice, the size of the water and water chemistry, currents, and distribution of the load on the ice.\n\n[...]\n\n* Snowmobiles and ATV’s need at least 5 inches, and cars and light trucks need at least 8-12 inches of good clear ice.\n\n* Wear a life jacket. Life vests or float coats provide excellent flotation and protection from hypothermia (loss of body temperature). Never wear a life jacket if you are traveling in an enclosed vehicle, however. It could hamper escape in case of a breakthrough.\n\n* Carry a pair of homemade ice picks or even a pair of screwdrivers tied together with a few yards of strong cord that can be used to pull yourself up and onto the ice if you do fall in. Be sure they have wooden handles so if you drop them in the struggle to get out of the water, they won’t go straight to the bottom!\n\n* Avoid driving on the ice whenever possible. Traveling in a vehicle, especially early or late in the season is simply "an accident waiting to happen." In the 117 ice fatalities occurring in Minnesota since 1976, 68 percent involved a vehicle.\n\n* Be prepared to bail out in a hurry if you find it necessary to use a car, unbuckle your seatbelt and have a plan of action if you do breakthrough. Some safety experts recommend driving with the window rolled down and the doors ajar for an easy escape. Move your car frequently. Parking in one place for a long period weakens ice. Don’t park near cracks, and watch out for pressure ridges or ice heaves.\n\n* Don’t drive across ice at night or when it is snowing. Reduced visibility increases your chances for driving into an open or weak ice area.\n\n* Check at the access if there are signs that indicate an aeration system is in operation on the lake. Aerators keep areas of water open to provide oxygen for fish. The ice can be weakened many yards beyond where the ice is actually open. Stay well outside the fenced areas indicated by diamond shaped thin ice signs.'\n\n---\n\n'How can you tell if a lake is frozen solid enough to drive on? The surest way to know is to wait until several other cars and trucks have safely driven across the ice. Even then, you should always be extra careful when driving across a frozen lake.\n\nIt's possible that one section of the lake has currents that prevent the lake from freezing solid. Or there might be a river or stream that brings slightly warmer water into one part of the lake. So even though most of the lake was frozen solid, one section of the lake could have thin ice.'\n\n---\n\n'If you're driving your car (didn't we just say we don't recommend that) safety experts recommend that you drive with the windows down and your seatbelt off. Don't take this an excuse to drive without a seatbelt full time just in case you drive into a lake. Out on the ice you are driving on a lake and if the ice gives way from under you it is critical to get out of your vehicle before it is submerged.  A car crashing into water can sink in a matter of seconds.'\n\n---\n\n'Take a hard look at the ice before you leap. Clear blue ice is the strongest, and it still takes three inches to safely hold a single person, and five to six inches to safely hold a group of people or a snowmobile. You supposedly can venture out onto thinner ice if you distribute your weig

half fill a cup with raisins and then fill the cup up woth hot water.... leave it for a while and then drink the syrupy liquid leaving the raisins in the bottom....\ni dont know why or how it works but it does!

well, it is a matter of survival.  try water or diet soda.  This is serious, and you have to take the initiative, or else..

You've taken the first step in a good scientific inquiry.  You observed a phenomenon and began trying to explain it.  Now you can work toward an answer.  You could see if sugar (glucose?  sucrose?) is a molecule similar to salt for elevating the boiling point of water. (It depresses the freezing point like salt does.)  You could try measuring water just as it boils, and then with the same instrument, measure sugar-water just as it boils, and see if it really is elevated.  You can learn more about the subject by reading.  The melting point of glucose (C6 H12 O6) is 113 degrees Centigrade, higher than the boiling point of water.\n\nThen you can formulate theories as possible explanations.  You've started doing that.  Then you can investigate those.  Here's another.  Perhaps dissolving sugar is an endothermic reaction.  Mix some sugar and water which are both at the same temperature.  Does the temperature of the mixture change?\n\nIt takes a certain amount of energy to raise the temperature of water.  Look up the definition of calorie.  It takes additional energy to convert it from its liquid state to its gaseous state.\n\nIt often takes some discontinuity for a supercooled solution to freeze or form crystals, or for a superheated solution to boil.  The bottom of the pot has such discontinuities, and particularly irregular parts of the pot are where boiling likely starts.  When you add granulated sugar, you are adding lots of discontinuities.  What happens when you add dissolved sugar instead of granulated sugar?\n\nKeep good records, sign and date your notes and get them witnessed periodically.  They could be your first steps toward a very good science fair project or perhaps a bigger discovery and a patent.  Then, tell the world I helped you along.  That would REALLY make my day!
