Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

I do not understand how to make Sodium Acetate into a science fair project. (preferable "hot ice")

Here are a couple of examples that can be found by entering "sodium acetate science fair project" into this site. Google probably has some ideas too:

thank you ray....i appreciate your help

i m open to more ideas, if anyone has any ideas or info, please put up a reply.

thank you.

There is a great video on youtube that explains the science of "hot ice", gives you a step by step guide on how to make hot ice and how to troubleshoot your experiment, plus talks about some of the chemical properties of the material. Hopefully you can learn a bit about "hot ice" and then figure out some questions that you can test by experimentation.
