Introduction

But, as we have grown up and you all are a parent now, you can’t get those good old days back and fun the same, right? WRONG! You must not restrict yourself from having from no matter what age group you belong to. Start recalling your childhood memories by blowing those bubbles with your kid(s). Actually, you can have an extra bit of fun especially if you live in a cold region where the temperature is always or most of the times below 0°. Here’s what you can experiment with, you can blow those soap bubbles into the air and witness it getting frozen instantly. You will need no equipment for performing this task. The materials required for blowing soap bubble will only be required.

Result

Unlike normal weather conditions, when you are in a place with freezing temperature i.e., below 0°, water is bound to freeze as soon as it comes into the atmosphere. Therefore, what you will observe when you blow a bubble into the air is, it will freeze as soon as it comes out of the wand. You can see this happening within few seconds and sometimes within a fraction of the time. If you touch them, you will feel it’s an ice bubble.
