Once again, YO Montana

Water is unusual. Our planet supports 3 form of it.

As a liquid, 27 molecules occuppy on specific volume. For all that you say,
only 24 molecules may occuppy the same space at zero centrigrade or less.

This is a denisity problem I try to explore, cuz what if ice sank in ponds and
rivers and oceans. Really, what would your students respond to the procession
of life and evolution???

Have you tried the Pepsi and Diet-Pepsi experiment/demonstration activity
whilch clearkt shows that denisty matters???
