The Power of Ice

Our weather has been going from hot to cold and back. A couple of days ago, I wanted to do an experiment of leaving a soda can full of water outside overnight because it was going to get down to 24 degrees Fahrenheit (-4 C). Unfortunately, my mom didn't know what it was for, and used it to water her plants. And the next couple of nights, the low temperature was around 65F. So I had to try the experiment again in the freezer instead.
Ice can be very powerful. Glaciers. Frost heave. Burst pipes.
Even though the top of the can had an opening for water to escape, the ice blocked it. It split the can!
