What a great idea! We do have a few days in Atlanta when the temperature gets this low, so I will try this next winter. Thanks for sharing!

This looks like it would be fun! I would love to try it out!

I think that would be great!!!

That seems like a great experiment for students. This will keep the students engaged as well as having them venture outside of the classroom. I plan to to try this in the future when I become a teacher. I found a link about the experiment and what materials you would need to do this. I do have a question if anyone can answer for me. When doing this experiment how would you implement classroom management? http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/how-to-make-frozen-soap-bubbles-198735 http://sciencemadefun.net/blog/its-freezing-outside-time-for-some-fun/

Thanks for the websites! The pictures are amazing! Want to try it myself...if it will get that cold this winter.

Wow, I never would have thought of doing this! Too bad in south Texas we don't get many freezing temperatures! I wonder if there would be an alternative way of freezing the bubbles and observing them such as in a freezer??

For those of us in the Northeast, this is a great idea. Not only will it give some insight into the changing properties of substances (liquid to solid), but it will get the kids outside and into the fresh air. I will definitely dig out my old bubbles for this.

Wendy, Your mind went in the same direction as mine.I think it is a wonderful activity but in NGSS we are trying to move beyond isolated experiments.I,too, was wondering about properties of matter. I was thinking it might have a place in a instructional sequence ( a series of coherent lessons)either in grade 2 or grade 5. When planning I always start with the standard,so here is a performance expectations for [b]Grade 2 Structure and properties of Matter [/b] Plan and conduct an investigation to describe and classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties. 2-PS1-1 I think there may be a place for that wonderful activity that Arlene shared.I will not know for sure until I try to create an instructional plan to address this particular standard. There are also 2 Grade 5 Structure and properties of Matter PEs performance expectations that you might be planning instruction around.

If only it got that cold in Houston! I would like to try this. Perhaps there is a way to modify it for classroom use? Perhaps a cold chamber?

Johany Serafin Johany Serafin 1755 Points

If only we could have that weather here in Houston. Thank you for the idea.

That would be a great activity and it looks so beautiful. Makes me want to do it myself. -Laura

This is such a great idea! If only it got cold enough in Texas to do a fun science activity like this! Thank you so much for sharing!

I would do this activity I think that the children would have fun. I would have to do it on a very cold day in Texas and that does not happen a lot. Thanks, Teague Rab

Thanks for sharing this link! I think this would be a great way to help students visualize changes in the state of matter. Since we normally can't "see" things transform from a liquid to a solid, this can be difficult for students to visualize. However, with this clever activity, students would really be able to visualize the bubble changing from a liquid to a solid. Maureen
