How does ice form? Because the water gets cold? Yes, ice doesn’t form until the water molecules settle down their activity enough to form a crystal structure. But it needs something else…….a seed. For ice to form, there has to be a starting point, such as an impurity or a roughness on the surface of the container.
When it starts to happen, it is beautiful to watch. Here, in the garden of the hospital, the ice is just beginning to form at the edge of this lovely bowl. Can you see it?
