Why Does Ice Float? 🧊🌊
Unlike most substances, water expands when it freezes, making ice less dense than liquid water. This unique property of H₂O keeps ponds and lakes from freezing solid, protecting aquatic life.

Myth: All Radiation Is Dangerous ☢️❌
Reality: Radiation is everywhere, and not all of it is harmful. Ultraviolet rays help produce vitamin D, and microwaves cook our food. It’s all about the type and intensity.
