We did, yeah. The whole setup was my son's idea. It was on the verge of falling off the buckets and breaking toes at any minute, but it sort of worked. We had made pucks too. I forgot to take a pic before we destroyed everything which was the best part.
We set out the buckets to be legs of an ice "air hockey" table. The table top was a long flat storage container. The food coloring was just for fun.
We also put out water balloons and they worked surprisingly well. I thought they might not survive the freeze.
Another experiment was filling a large heavy duty trash bag in a large storage container. This froze several inches thick on the outside surfaces but stayed liquid inside, so when we dumped it out the water stayed inside like an ice sink. https://i.imgur.com/fwsTvNh.png
The food coloring didn’t want to freeze in my winter storm ice bucket experiment
