FROZEN BUBBLES

When the temperature dips below the freezing point, many changes occur in our environment: water turns to ice, and rain turns to snow. Let the children experience some of these changes by taking part in the following activity.

Chill containers of bubble solution in the refrigerator. When the temperature is below freezing, take your child outside to blow bubbles. Have your children observe the bubbles closely as they blow. They will notice ice crystals forming on the surface of the bubbles. What happens when the bubbles pop? They shatter.
