The document describes an experiment to create "hot ice" using sodium acetate and water. Sodium acetate is dissolved in water to make a saturated solution, which is then supercooled without freezing by preventing nucleation. When a nucleation point is introduced, the supercooled solution undergoes an exothermic phase change and freezes, releasing heat and creating a substance that feels warm despite being frozen solid. The document provides instructions for safely conducting this experiment in the classroom to observe this unusual physical phenomenon.
