    Winter experiment: Have you tried making a frozen bubble?

Winter experiment
Have you tried making a frozen bubble?

Have you ever tried making a frozen soap bubble before? Well we have the picture perfect recipe below!

Recently, our colleagues in Germany had temperatures low enough that they were able to create frozen soap bubbles. Here is the recipe for how to do it when the time comes for us!

Temperatures must be below -5C, with hardly any precipitation and light winds. With ordinary soap bubbles, mixing detergent with water does the trick. But in order for them to freeze, they have to be stronger.

The following recipe works best:

  • 100ml water
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • 30 ml washing-up liquid (preferably without perfumes and other additives)
  • 30 ml corn syrup (you can omit if need be)

So keep an eye on the TemperatureRadar for when it gets cold enough to produce these frozen beauties, and be sure to send in your pictures to our uploader for us to feature!

The image shows an intense tropical cyclone over the western Pacific, east of Taiwan and the Philippines. The centre of the system is depicted as a light purple and white vortex with a clearly visible eye, surrounded by a ring of red and orange areas indicating the strongest wind speeds. A white arrow marks the typhoon’s predicted track towards the north-west, in the direction of Taiwan. To the west of the storm lie the Philippines, with the cities of Manila and Cebu; to the north of these lies Taiwan, with Taipei. Further west, the Chinese coast, including Hong Kong, and parts of Vietnam can be seen. The coloured wind map shows predominantly green areas outside the storm’s core, indicating significantly weaker winds. White streamlines illustrate the typhoon’s anti-clockwise circulation in the Northern Hemisphere. The highest wind speeds are concentrated around the eye of the cyclone.
