How to Supercool Water: A SciShow Experiment

The video explains the freezing and boiling points of water and introduces the concept of supercooling, where water remains liquid below its freezing point. It describes how molecular energy affects the state of matter and the process of nucleation, which is necessary for ice formation. The video provides a step-by-step guide to creating supercooled water and demonstrates how to trigger ice formation by creating a nucleation site.

What are the freezing and boiling points of water at standard pressure?

Explain the phenomenon of supercooling in liquids.

What conditions are necessary for water to freeze?

Describe the process of nucleation in the formation of ice.

What happens to supercooled water when it is disturbed?
