Want to try a really fun science experiment with your students?
Let's Make a Fog Bubble From Dry Ice
To make a fog bubble you will need:
- a large bowl with a lip around the top
- a strip of cloth
- bubble solution (be sure to add a little corn syrup or glycerin to your solution for strong bubbles that will get really big).
- dry ice (can be purchased in grocery stores)
Safety First: Adults should handle the dry ice with gloves. Do not let the children touch the dry ice. It can cause skin reactions.
Directions:
1. Place the dry ice in the bowl and add a little water.
2. Place the strip of cloth in the bubble solution. Get a generous amount of solution on the cloth.
3. Run the cloth around the lip of the bowl and then drag it across the bowl to form a bubble.
4. Now watch what happens!
Be sure to talk about Science Lab Safety!
Students love exciting science labs like this!
