Back in February, we had soooo many days of severe cold. School was closed due to cold weather (never snow) every. single. monday AND friday of the month. About halfway through the month, we decided to just have fun with the freezing weather, and do a couple of science experiments.
The first one was blowing bubbles in the cold and seeing what would happen to them. We found that if we could keep a bubble from popping, in about 30 seconds, it would freeze! It was so cool to see the ice crystals form all over the bubble. The boys loved watching the crystals form and then whacking the bubble and seeing it break into pieces. So cool!
The next experiment we did (which I unfortunately do not have any pictures of, just a video that takes up too much memory to post) was to throw small cups-ful of boiling water into the air. The water instantly turned to mist! It was so fun.
We didn't really enjoy the looooong stretch of frigid temperatures, but we certainly made the best of it!
