Okay, "All Stars," I'm going to make a hypothesis, or a guess, in my attempt to answer this thought-provoking question! I guess that bubbles are NOT able to freeze. If the liquid of the bubble were to "freeze" the frozen water would be too heavy to maintain the shape of the bubble.
Okay, now I'm going to do a little research to see if I can find anything that might help me confirm or disprove my guess....
Well, golly-gee, I was wrong, you CAN freeze a bubble! Here's a little video I found to disprove my guess: http://youtu.be/9E15I6Es5lE
Now, I'm going to have to go outside and try this out!
Thank you for allowing us to learn and wonder with you!
yes you can... but its needs to be below 32 degrees F..blow a bubble and then catch it on the bubble wand. Wait a few moments while it freezes- it will turn into a cool crystal ball before it shatters! http://sciencemadefun.net/blog/its-freezing-outside-time-for-some-fun/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cW8ZO7EBRkc
We found out that a bubble can freeze, but it is hard to do, and it must be very cold. A frozen bubble does not last very long. The frozen shell of the bubble crumbles because of its weight.
We found a really neat experiment to test our hypothesis and further our research. I will attach the link so that you can try it if you would like. We learned that it is really hard to freeze a bubble because it has to be a certain temperature. I wish we could have tried it over the last few COLD snow days! :) Thanks for sharing!
Also, I found a really cool experiment that you could try at home! Below is the link that will take you to the experiment: http://sciencemadefun.net/blog/its-freezing-outside-time-for-some-fun/
Thank you for all of the participation this week! The students could not believe that it is actually possible to freeze a bubble!

Thank you for sharing your video that you used to aid you in your research. After we watched it, Brandon said, "That was cool!!"

We learned the importance of 32 degrees and how that is the temperature needed to freeze water and to freeze a bubble. Thanks for sharing!

DeleteWe have had fun researching and discovering this new information. Below are a few of the resources we used:
