Got cold weather? Time for some science! Grab whatever you have on hand and freeze it!
 |
| Filling ice cube trays and muffin tins with water |
 |
| Water balloons, a tub of ice and water, and a tub of just ice, food coloring added in for fun |
 |
| The next morning- frozen! |
 |
| Breaking open the balloons |
 |
| Strangely enough, only some of the balloons froze...we think that is has to do with the type and thickness of balloo,n, but it remains a mystery! |
 |
| dumping out the ice cubes |
 |
| The ice water was frozen solid, but the bin of just ice cubes didn't change much
It doesn't have to be elaborate to be fun...we had a great time with this, and have generated a whole series of questions we want to explore the next time we get a really cold night (including my husband and I who really want to figure out the balloon mystery!)

For the balloon mystery, have you seen this experiment? http://www.stevespangler.com/science-experiments/instant-ice-super-cold-water-turns-to-ice-before-your-eyes/
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it is something similar?
