avatar Avatar: Freezing Sea Water

Because seawater contains salt, it does not freeze at the same temperature as regular water. It acts differently. Listen to this avatar to find out how. Select the play button to begin the avatar video, and then use the navigation buttons to pause/stop, continue, or reset the avatar.  View the presentation as often as you would like, and take notes as you follow along.  Be sure to set your volume at a reasonable level before you begin.
