Below Zero Temperatures = Science Experiments!When it is cold outside you can LEARN! Check out these Cold Weather Science Experiments and figure out if it’s real or a myth! Don’t forget to share your results!
Spark you thinking!
1. Set up your science mini spark recording page: #8: Cold Weather Science Experiments
2. Look over this list of experiments. On your recording sheet write the title and what you will need to gather for the experiment.
- Freezing Soap Bubbles: Head outside with some bubble solution and blow some bubbles! NOTE: Try heating up the bubble solution in the microwave beforehand. You can make your own bubble solution with 2 cups of water, half a cup of dish soap, and 2 teaspoons sugar.
- Banana Hammer: Hang a banana outside for a few hours and it will freeze solid-solid enough for you to be able to hammer actual nails with it.
- Make An Ice Thrower: Fill a Super Soaker with boiling water and then shoot it out into the cold. When very hot water meets very cold air, the water vaporizes, turning it into ice crystals…essentially, homemade snow. Don’t have a Super Soaker, just use the pot you boiled the water in.
- Freeze-Fry An Egg: Don’t actually eat it, but leave a frying pan outside for about 15 minutes and then crack an egg into it. What happens?
- Instant Freeze Water – Bottle Slam
The ideas have been taken from this post. If you want to go here and read more about your experiment here is the link.
3. Complete the experiment. On your recording sheet write down what you did and the results. Don’t forget to take pictures
4. Show what you have learned from your experiment in an interesting manner.
5. Share your science mini spark recording page and you project with your teacher/EY coordinator.
