Three Cold Weather Experiments
Unfortunately this will require that you go outside...
- TURN BOILING WATER TO SNOW
The most popular cold weather trick of all time.

I think it’s because it looks cool on social media.
It was cold enough today to throw boiling water in the air and create snow. It was really cool to see and do. pic.twitter.com/DDi0OvBti4

2. FREEZE SOAP BUBBLES
This is a photographer’s favourite.

Bubbles can sometimes freeze before they pop.

The crystallization that forms as they freeze looks incredible in the daylight, plus it gives you a reason to use all the dollar store bubble mix around the house.

3. BALLOON SHRINK
When the weather is super chilly, trapped pockets of air expand or contract. And it’s possible to visualize this too! All you need is a balloon.
