You put some drinks out on your back step to get cold on a winter day. You leave them outside quite a long time. You notice the

bottles of water you put out are frozen solid but the bottles of clear soda which are the same volume are not frozen. Why did the water freeze when the soda did not?

The sugar molecules are not the same shape or size as the water molecules are so they don't fit into the ice crystals, even though they do fit nicely into the liquid water. Because of this, it's actually harder to freeze liquids like juice or soda than plain water you have to get them colder before they will freeze. Hope this helps!
