Science in a Sap Bucket

This is the stuff science texts books are made of.

The outside temperature was 30 degrees Fahrenheit, but the sap in the buckets was a clear liquid until I poured the contents into my collection bucket, that I carry from tap to tap. When I did that, the clear liquid formed ice; totally cool. At first I thought I was seeing things. (I guess I was, being an old school observant scientist.)

This morning I got to see the science of a super cool liquid up close and personal. Hum.... home schooling at its finest. So totally cool, it's icy.
