Instructions
Note: Do this activity outside on a day when the temperature is lower than 32 degrees F (0 degrees C).
1. Give children the bubble liquid inside and let them blow a few bubbles to see how quicklythey pop and disappear.
2. Bundle up and go outdoors to make bubbles. The children will observe how much slower thebubbles are to pop. When they do, they leave behind a frozen soap "skin."3. Let the children catch the frozen bubbles with their mittens on. Ask, "Do these bubbles lastlonger than the indoor bubbles?"More to doMore science: Use a pan and a very large bubble wand for longer, bigger bubbles to see if thismakes any difference.Original poemWind howls, snow blows,Frozen fingers, frozen nose.Frozen ears, frozen toes,When snow howls, wind blows.
