How to Make Frost

Do your kids love Frozen or maybe they loved Frozone in the Incredibles?

The ability to create frost and ice at a single touch sounds like an amazing super power.

Creating Frost Science Experiments

Whether you are a parent, teacher, or homeschooler add this to yourwinter science experimentsto try!

To do this we set up a control, plus our experiment.

Our control consisted of a tin can filled with ice but no salt.

creating frost winter science control

We filled the other tin can with ice and salt sprinkled over all the ice.

Then we sat back and watched.

Very quickly the tin can with the salt and ice mixture started getting colder.

The tin can with no salt was just cool.

There was a significant difference in the temperatures, just no frost.

Ourhow is frost formedexperiment was a failure.

But scientists dont fail, they examine, evaluate, investigate, then experiment again.

We had the tin cans that would conduct the cold.

Having it stick to my fingers was proof of that.

But something was missing.

Its winter here, and winter in our neck of the woods is cold and very, very dry.

Snowamn Craft using Glue

We explored a few different ideas for how to adjust this variable in our experiment.

We placed steamy cups of water near the tin cans.

We tried adding water to our tin cans.

We tried blowing on them.

Changing all of those variables failed to produce frost.
