Boo Bubbles™ – Dry Ice Experiments

Many students immediately tune out when they hear a word like sublimation. Not only is this word long and confusing, but students may be convinced that the lesson is going to be boring. That’s where our Steve Spangler Science Boo Bubbles™ experiment comes in! As soon as you pull out some dry ice and tell your students they’re going to make our classic Boo Bubbles experiment, they’ll perk up. They’ll learn about sublimation and changing states of matter without even realizing it, all because they’re too busy having fun with dry ice bubbles!

Create smoke-filled bouncing bubbles with the Boo Bubbles Activity Kit from Steve Spangler Science. Our dry ice bubbles activity is perfect for Halloween or just for fun in the classroom. Boo Bubbles are an easy and safe way for parents and teachers to explore the fascinating and cool science of dry ice with foggy bubbles. We provide the generator, blower, gloves, tubing, mixing solution, and activity guide and other accessories. You just have to provide the Boo Bubbles dry ice when you’re reading to run an experiment with your children.

Boo Bubbles — Easy to Use and Fun for All Ages

Get ready to make some ghostly dry ice bubbles. Our all-in-one Boo Bubble Kit is easy to use. Just fill the dry ice bubble generator with warm water and add a few pieces of dry ice. Then, dip the bubble blower in the solution. When the dry ice reacts with water, smoke-filled dry ice bubbles are forced out of the bubble generator. By controlling the flow of the gas, you can make Boo Bubbles of any size. Best of all, when the bubbles pop, a burst of fog is released. 

Our Boo Bubbles experiment gets kids excited and shouting for more! You can incorporate this dry ice bubbles experiment into STEM classes to help children and students learn about the science of sublimation in a fun, hands-on way. It’s a unique, unforgettable dry ice experiment that will fascinate your eager scientists. Kids, whether at home or in the classroom, marvel when they see our Boo Bubbles dry ice transform from a solid into a gas before their eyes.

More Fun With Bubble Gloves

If you don’t want your awesome, dry ice bubbles to pop, you need the right pair of gloves. 

If you’ve ever tried to catch a bubble with your hands, you know that it’s most likely going to burst. That’s because the oil in your hands keeps you from being able to hold onto a bubble without it popping. With the special Bubble Gloves included in our Boo Bubbles Activity Kit, you’ll become a master bubble-ologist in no time at all — one who can hold and master dry ice Boo Bubbles with our special Bubble Gloves.

What Does Boo Bubbles Teach?

With this dry ice bubble maker, kids will be empowered to study the rate of reaction as they experiment with different water temperatures and learn about the factors that turn ordinary bubbles into super-bouncing, smoke-filled Boo Bubbles.

Dry Ice Bubbles You Can Hold:

Roll dry ice bubbles in your hands, bounce them off your sleeve and pop them to release a burst of fog. See how many Boo Bubbles you can hold at once.

Boo Bubbles

Giant Boo Bubbles

Cover a clean table surface with a thin layer of soap bubble solution and spread it around. Hold the nozzle of the dry ice bubble machine down and watch as your bubble gets bigger and bigger.

Boo Bubbles

Floating Ghost Bubbles
Have an adult place dry ice into a container of warm water and see what happens when Boo Bubbles drop into the foggy container. Discover whether they’ll float or sink.

*The Boo Bubbles Kit does not include dry ice. To purchase dry ice, contact your local grocery store. We recommend purchasing 5 pounds to experience all of the experiments contained in the Boo Bubbles Kit.

Boo Bubbles

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The dry ice would probably disappear into a gas before you had a chance to use it.

Inquire at your local grocery store at the customer service desk to see if they carry dry ice. Otherwise, search online for a local dry ice distributor. Watch Steve Spangler’s dry ice safety video for tips on how to travel with and safely store dry ice.

The water should only be warm. Using hot or boiling water will only result in a melted, deformed Boo Bubble Generator.

The amount of dry ice you use is up to you. The more you use, the more pressure the hose and nozzle will have. Too much pressure will result in Boo Bubbles bursting before you can really experience them. We suggest purchasing 5 pounds of dry ice from your local grocery store to conduct all of the suggested dry ice bubbles experiments.

    Kindergartners with smokin bubbles

    Vanessa

    My kindergartners LOVED this activity. We talked about the properties of dry ice. Tried to catch CO2 as we exhaled – didn’t work 😉 Then compared and contrasted dry ice to water ice cubes. I had the kids use my 5th graders very clean ankle socks as gloves – so easy for kinders to get these on by themselves. Then we laughed and giggled as they got to hold and bounce the bubbles. A very easy and exciting activity that we completed in 30 minutes. A week later, the students were still talking about the CO2 bubbles they could hold.

      Staff lisabrooks

      This was such a great question we had to test it out. If you add the Atomic Glow to the bubble solution, you will have glowing bubbles, but it is very faint and the longevity of the bubble does not last as long. We did not test it with the Boo Bubble experiment, but we can tell that it will not work well for this experiment. The bubble is much weaker and will not be able to hold the smoke or be bounced around per the instructions.

    Halloween Party HIT!

    Shelly

    We did BOO bubbles as part of our Mad Scientist Mayhem Halloween party theme. What a hit! My sons’ are in 2nd grade and the kids couldn’t get enough of the bubbles. We tried making them big, small, and double bubbles. The kids tried to see how far they could get with the bubbles. I bought extra gloves at Walmart so that everyone could participate at the same time. I highly recommend this project. We had no problems with it.

      The bubble is soap and you never want to put any type of soap in your food or drinks. You can safely use dry ice in your drink to get the smoke effect. Just don’t touch it with your hands!

      We include Blue Dawn Dish Soap in the kit, but most dish soaps work great. My suggestion would be to mix a few squirts of dish soap in a bowl of water and let it sit for a few hours prior to conducting the experiment. The longer the soap is in the water it will really bond with the water and make a stronger bubble surface for the carbon dioxide to be contained. If you have glycerin a few drops will make them even stronger. Please reach out if you have any additional questions, and happy boo-bubbling.

      No, it will not set off the smoke detector since it’s water vapor and not smoke from an actual fire. You are good to use it in your school. The kids will love this experiment.

    This is a great experiment kit that was a hit with my kids and the neighbors kids. We learned a lot about carbon dioxide and it was great fun. Since I got a lot of dry ice we also did some other experiments that were fun. I plan to use boo bubbles as part of a Halloween party we have each year with our church group. I am confident it will be a big hit. Thanks Steve Spangler Science for helping make Science fun and appealing.

    Great

    Joyful

    This kit made the boo bubbles simple. Everything worked as advertised and as demonstrated on-line. Do keep hot water on hand as directed, as the dry ice cools the water very quickly and the bubbles work best with warm water. My only addition would be to have more cotton gloves on hand if you have a large group so the students can bounce the boo bubbles back and forth rather than only two hands being able to enjoy that fun at a time. The popping fog is also fun if you stick with only the two cotton gloves provided.

    I had some difficulty creating the perfect bubble solution though but overall this was an awesome experiment for all (including adults)

    Boo Bubbles Worth It

    Roger Davis

    Simple and very engaging. Worked well with elementary and middle school aged kids, but my son (a junior in high school) spent a few hours testing it for me the night before I was to use it. Dry ice is a great substance to teach a number of concepts (density, solids/gases, and sublimation to name a few). I found cotton gloves at the Dollar Tree Store (2 pairs for, you guessed it, a buck). The kids had fun trying to pass it to one another (teamwork) and creating new dance steps while bouncing and tossing the bubbles. I’m really happy with this purchase. I would suggest putting a water fill line on the bottle so people don’t overfill. Thanks.

    Boo Bubbles were a hit!

    Carolyn Florio

    I made my own similar contraption out of a snapware container and tubing from our home beer brewing kit. Dry ice at our local grocery store only comes in a huge chunk, so we had plenty to "melt" all weekend!

    Tip: When I used it at my 6 yr old nephew's birthday party, I found it easiest to soap up the table and have the kids get their hands all soapy before 'catching' the bubbles. Much easier on a hot summer day than gloves! 🙂

    I love how this is an experiment they can safely touch – as a bonus, their hands were washed before cake and icecream!!

We immediatly got bubbles filled with fog as we dipped it in the soapy water. I made the soap/water solution the day before for and let it sit. I also added glycerin. After the amazement of the bubbles wore off, we just kept adding dry ice and warm water into the jar, along with soap; put it in the sink, and made a bubble fountain. It was pretty awesome.

    Boo Bubbles Big Hit

    Becky Fox Matthews

    We used your Boo Bubbles kit and a larger version our exhibits fabricators made for our event The Science of Beer at the Adventure Science Center in Nashville, TN. We demonstrated them with both dry ice and liquid nitrogen and they were a real hit with all the adults! The event received an award of excellence for superlative achievement this week at the TN Association of Museums event. Thanks for the innovative ideas and the kits to make the activities so easy to try. Previously we’d incorporated Boo Bubbles (using liquid nitrogen we keep on-site) into a daily public program and it was also a huge hit. We’ll be using these activities again!

    Awesome!

    This was a huge hit! The kids didn’t ever want to quit making the bubbles and trying new ways to create bigger bubbles. Everyone got into it!

    My son and his friends loved it. It will be great for Halloween. The product was easy to use even for a 5 year old. I see us getting a lot of use out of this.

    I used the Boo Bubbles as part of an October science program – Science Magic. It was the favorite station during the program. Even though we has any where from 5 to 10 kids at the station at any given time they were all able to try out the gloves and play with the bubbles. I used the glycerin in my bubble mix and it worked out well.

    Love the bubbles!

    We use this product for one of our party themes. Kids and adults love it! Careful with user error… one of our staff members put boiling water inside to see what would happen and ended up with warped plastic. Other than that, the boo bubble kit is amazing.

    we have used this kit for years and grads, undergrads and younger kids are all wowed by it. We are taking it to DC to use in our booth at the National Science Festival in April.

    Fantastic for the Teacher with Resources

    L

    Hello! I have been working with Dry Ice for years and have used common household objects to create the bubbles. I like this because it adds variety to a dry ice lesson. I purchased it on my own to enhance my teaching when I saw it as I am always looking for different tools.

    Amazing!

    Dr. Meg

    I got this for our Harry Potter themed Halloween party. I dressed like Professor Trelawney and made Boo-Bubble prophecies. Amazing! The kids (ages 4-8) and adults were amazed and astounded. You don’t need gloves to hold the bubbles – just dip your hand in the soapy water first- works great for larger groups. It was so much fun, I have a feeling we will play with this through-out the year, and not just at Halloween. Thanks STEVE!

    Super fun

    Cindi Ellis

    I used this for my grandson’s fourth grade Halloween party. It was a hit! I did have to change the water out after the 2nd group because the water was cold and the bubbles started to come out slower. But once I put hot tap water in, they started coming out fast again. I did make the bubbles ahead of time and used glycerin. I gave each of the kids a glove to hold and bounce the bubbles with and they had a blast! It was hard for them to not touch it with the ungloved hand, so next time, I’ll have enough gloves for both hands.

    WOW!!!

    Christy L George

    This activity invited more students who were just passing by the classroom who wanted to see what was going on. The kids are fascinated with learning new things and regardless of how simple the idea is, these students walked away learning more about science in one day than they had in years of school. Science IS becoming fun and interesting and that is the goal; to entice learning by exploration!!!

    Perfect for Halloween party

    Sam

    We got this for a Halloween party. The kids really enjoyed playing with it for a couple of hours. Not only did they make the bubbles, I also had a container with mostly dishwashing liguid in it and they put the hose in it to make lots of bubbles. It was fun watching the bubbles fill up and flow over the edge of the container. The next day I still had some dry ice left, but my kids weren’t interested in it anymore. I’ll tuck it away for next Halloween and maybe they’ll be excited to use it again.

    The only problem I had with it was the plastic hose kept coming off and wouldn’t uncurl.

    If you have a group of kids using it I recommend having plenty of gloves. Once they get wet they don’t work as well.

    boo bubbles

    karen

    The experiment is easy to do and worked great for the first 10 to 12 bubbles then condensation collected in the tube and it didn't work after that. I had planned on using it for small groups on halloween and I am nervous if only 1 group gets to experience the bubbles. I always try it out first. I want to do it again tomorrow for a practice run again switching water and dry ice but the tube took 2 days to dry out. So not sure I will even attempt to do this experiment.

    Karen –
    Condensation in the Boo Bubbles tubing shouldn't affect the fog from coming out. Give it another try, and make sure that the water is still warm. Give us a call at (800)223-9080 if you continue to have problems.

    I loved this…I orginally bought this for my third grader for his Halloween party at school and ended up using this in my preschool classroom! I even showed the parents (the daddies had all kinds of questions, it turned them into 12 year old boys again!)

    The only thing I couldn’t get the hang of was making all those tiny little bubbles as shown in the video…otherwise, it’s been tons of fun and a very special THANK YOU to PRAXAIR, who donated the dry ice to my classroom!

    Fabulous science demo generates LOTS of interest!

    Ann Jansen

    I used this as a science demo to drum up interest in a k-2 grade science club at our school. The directions were very clear – I had no questions. The children loved it and we were easily able to make connections to the carbon dioxide in our breath, liquid versus gas and water vapor that is seen on cold days, etc. It was also very fun and easy to generate different variables to test like; tube size, nozzle type, bubble solution type, quantity of dry ice, and initial water temperature. Another fun extension is using zoom tools to make a cube shaped bubble and then making it white inside wiith the boo bubbles. My only difficulty was the 40 minute drive I had to make to find the only supplier of dry ice in all of lower Delaware. However, the dry ice was inexpensive and lasted two days in a styrofoam container.

    Boo-Bubbles!!

    Melissa Harry

    My son is obsessed with Boo Bubbles. He watches the video of them all the time. We got Boo Bubbles for his 5th birthday party along with insta-worms, instant snow, and slime. The Boo Bubbles were the finale and definitely the hit of the party. The kit comes with a pair of gloves but I picked up a few more from the dollar store. Luckily, all we have to do is buy dry ice from the grocery store and we can do them whenever we want!

    Great product!

    Susan A

    I’ve used these before (bought two several years ago) for my science club… but recently bought two more (have 40 kids this year). Once again… a huge hit. I used these last week for my science club, along with the shaker slime (another huge hit). The kids love anything with dry ice (these are 3rd – 7th graders) and I had a struggle getting them to stop playing because it was time to go. Love this product! Yeh Steve!

    Joan

    everything worked just as it was supposed to. Watching the video before we did it was helpful.the little cup with soap tipped a few times so we put the soap in a larger flat bottomed container. The instructions were well done, and the accompanying book choices listed were excellent. Thanks!

    boo bubbles

    Shirley

    I loooved this purchase.. BUT the bubbles that were sent opened up in the plastic bag and they got the instructions soaking wet. My recipe for bubbles is actually better than the one sent,using dawn soap works better than the joy that was in the shipment; but I love the machine; so simple, overpriced also, but I can’t make one myself. The bubbles came out slowly though and the children were very over anxious.. Just wish it could work faster, so the children would not be arguing (pre-school, 2 and 3 yr. olds)for a turn with a bubble. But, both parents and children loved the concept.
