Weird and Wonderful Forms of Ice! | Winter Science | SciShow Kids

The video follows a nature walk where the narrator and Squeaks discover a tree branch with hair-like ice. They investigate and learn that the ice is rare and forms due to water's cohesive properties. The video explains cohesion, showing how water molecules stick together, forming a dome on a penny. It further explores how cohesion helps form hair ice on tree branches, as water freezes and expands, pulling more water through tiny holes. The video concludes by discussing other ice formations like ice needles and frost flowers.
