Idea 2: Breaks

Things that I will explore or experiment more about:
What is the outcome shape of ice when breaking?

Tube:
I use a spoon to hit on it once. Then the ice scatter. There is no piece that is a whole circle. The shapes are mostly in square or rectangle. There is no piece that stays as a ring. The shapes are mostly in square or rectangle. It mostly break in half.

Cube:
Cubes are very strong although I use a spoon to hit it like the tube one above but it takes so many times until it breaks. The parts that break are some times a flat plane and sometimes a random shape.

Glass:
I experimented on it teo times. The first one I use a spoon to smash at the most breakable part which is the side not the bottom. After it breaks, the bottom stay as one piece while the others are all scattered. There's no ring in this one.

The second one is dropped from a certain height then the ice glass mainly breaks into two pieces. The bottom and the non-bottom... The side may not be all scattered because of the thicker build.

The combination:

I just have to lift it up for it to scatter into pieces Anyhow, poking it doesn't work.

After looking at these ices breaking, I think that the motion of the combination of ice is more interesting than the final shape. The ices scattered around as if they are rejecting one another is very catching.
