Wyldkat,
I wish I could help you, but I'm struggling with answering my DS6's question about whether, in a baptism, the water itself actually baptizes you! The things these kids think about and need help conceptualizing! They are just amazing little creatures, aren't they?!
I hope someone else here can help you. I know when water freezes that the molecules form tightly packed circles (and thus the ice takes up more volume than the water of which it is composed) and from that I would surmise that those circles of molecules would break apart when the ice breaks, but I'm not sure!
