Mrs. Charles is boiling water in a glass tea kettle. she notices bubbles forming on the bottoms of the kettle that rise to the top and wonders what is in the bubbles. She asks her friends what they think, and this is what they say:
Dr. Coolidge: "They are bubbles of heat."
Mrs. White: "The bubbles are filled with air"
Mrs. Demeris: " The bubbles are an invisible form of water"
Mrs. Juan: "The bubbles are empty-there is nothing inside them."
Mrs. Harn: "The bubbles contain oxygen and hydrogen that separated from the water."

I went on www.wiki.answers.com and it says that inside of a bubble is hot air so I agree with Dr.Coolidge.
ReplyDeleteI went to that website,and it was really helpful.
DeleteI agree because I aslo went to wiki ang it said that they are bubbles of heat. So I also think Dr.Coolidge is right.
Deleteand
Deleteactually I think Mrs.White is right because it says steam and at first I thought steam meant heat but now I think it means air because steam is air
DeleteI think Dr.Coolidge is right because when i went to wiki answers it says hot air right away.
DeleteI looked on wiki and right then it said hot air so its Dr.Coolidge.
DeleteActually I think its Mrs.Harn because bubbles cant float with out oxygen and hydrogen.
DeleteI think Mrs.White is right. I think she is right because I think you boil the water there's a little bit of air and when you heat the water, the air groups together and form bubbles. When the air groups in bubbles, the air (or bubbles) rises. The reason for that is the air is heating up and hot air goes up! Dr. Coolidge could also be right because it would still be hot air rising.
ReplyDeleteBTW does anyone go to the site I made?
DeleteWhat is your sight???
DeleteI went to www.wiki.ansers.com,and the bubbles are made of steam that means the bubbles are hot,so I agree with Dr.Coolidge.
ReplyDeleteI put I agree with Dr.Coolidge,but I'm changing my anser to Mrs.White because there not bubbles of heat they are bubbles of air.
DeleteI think Dr. coolidge is correct, because I searched online and it says that in a pot of boiling water the bubbles are acctually steam or gaseous form of water. As the water is heated the liquid turns to gas. Since the heat is coming from the bottom of the pot and the top of the water is cooler the gas turns to bubbles. Which is pretty much hot air.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you because the steam is air and it is making bubbles

Deleteforget about my first comment it would not let me delete. Now i know it is Mrs.Demeris because reread the answer and saw how it said a form of invisible water and figure out that was water vapor and then i searched it up online and saw it said Water Vapor.
Deleteits deleted
DeleteI think that Mrs Demeris is right because it is invisable water (water vapor) a gaseous form that isnt visable. It is diffrent from steam which contains some condenced liquid water. I also went on a pdf I found to help me.
ReplyDeletethe pdf is this link: http://primaryproficient.wikispaces.com/file/view/What's+in+the+Bubbles.pdf
DeleteI agree with Mrs.Demeris because I did some research and also at home i cook pasta and when the water boils they start to pop I stuck my hand in the air above the pot and it was damp in the air was steam and water vapor
DeleteThe website was www.thehappyscientist.com/sience-experiment/watched-pot
DeleteI agree with remi and izzy
DeleteI agree with Dr. Coolidge I went on www.wiki.answers.com and I got the same answer as Meredith.
ReplyDeleteI think Mrs White is right because I read on a web site that it is hot air from when it was pored
ReplyDeleteI agree with Ms. Demeris, because bubbles are an invisible form of water, called water vapor.
ReplyDeleteonly if its steam ,i think
Deletewell, i dont think that the bubbles are a invisible form of water although they do contain water you cant see, but that is called hydrogen and inside the bubbles it contains air so it also has oxygen, my point is that in my opinion MRS.Harn is totally right.
DeleteI visited wiki awnsers.. it was so helpfull! it turns out that the bubbles are hot air.. so I choose Mrs.White.. Maybe I got confused about tyhe choices.
ReplyDeleteDr.Coolidge says "i think its heat" But it jus5 says heat. not hotair.. Mrs.White says "its air' well no one said hot air.. so the closest was mrs.White
I think Dr. Coolidge was corect because I went to www.wiki.answers.com and it said that the bubbles are heat.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Dr Coolidge, most of the bubbles start at the bottom, because that's where the heat is. The more heat you apply, the more bubbles you will get. The water is turning into a gas ...
DeleteMy resource =www.worsleyschool.net/science/files/bubbles/page.html
Remember wiki answers is not a scienctific site! Those answers are not valid. Prove it somewhere else.
ReplyDeleteMrs.Charles, can we go on wikipedia and try to faint it?
Deleteafter visiting many different websites for information i found out that it was hot air so i decided that mrs.white was correct even though at first i thought it was mrs.harn who was correct
ReplyDeleteI agree because there is nothing inside bubbles except air
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI did some more research and found out that it is steam which is the gasous form of water and gas is usally invisable so I would agree with Mrs.Demeris. these are the sites I used science forum, and new scientist.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mrs. Demeris because the bubbles are water vapor an invisible form of water. Also there is a website called sciencenewsforkids.com that said the bubbles in the water are water vapor.
ReplyDeletei think dr. coolidge is right because when i was at pappisitos i saw how they made a fahita and when the fahita when in to the oven the fahita started blowing up so that means heat is entering and when the fahita came out then it flattend beacuse cool air was coming in that is why dr. coolidge is correct
ReplyDeleteI think Dr.Coolidge and Ms.Harn are right because I went to wikianswers.com and looked up many different pages and I got the same answer as both of them.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeletebut she is saying that it is still a liquid
DeleteI agree with Dr.Coolidge beacuse I went to ask.com and they answerd me by saying inside of the boiling water bubbles was hot air.
ReplyDeleteits not air because air is made up of more than hydrogen and oxygen witch are the only things in water!
DeleteActully Dawson I looked it up on google and it said that the bubbles are made of water vapor and air, so I agree with Carolyn.
DeleteI believe Mrs. White is correct. My mom and dad does a lot of cooking at home, so I asked them what were inside the bubbles. My mom said it has air in it(such as gas) because she told me it's like a balloon. Balloon has air in it and the same thing as within the bubbles. Although, Mrs. Demeris can also be correct. I also think that because I researched about it online and it says it has water in it(or water vapor described as invisible form of water). Either one can be correct, but mostly I think Mrs. White is right.
ReplyDeleteBut air is made up of so much more. Mrs.Harn is right because water vapor is in the bubbles witch is made of hydrogen and oxygen
Deletei agree with you Dawson, but Meggie does have the right facts down she just have the right person. Meggie, hydrogen and oxygen both are in the atom of h2o. H2o (water) is in water vapor so therefore I think Mrs. Harn is right and I think Dawson is also right.
DeleteOpps... I forgot to capitalize the first I. Sorry.....
DeleteI think Dr.Coolidge is right becuase I searched it up on google.
ReplyDeleteI agree because where do the bubbles come from? Thats right air bubbles.
DeleteI think dr.coolidge is right because I searched it on google chrome and found a website.
ReplyDeleteThats not clearing anything up for me.:(
DeleteI think Dr.Coolidge is correct because the bubbles are evaporating and they are hot air.
ReplyDeleteI think Mrs. Demeris is right because water boils it creates water vapor which are an invisible form of water.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all water is already clear and virtually invisible. Second of all That would be saying it is still a liquid
DeleteI think Mrs Harn is correct because h2o has hydrogen and oxygen molecules in it it just changes its state of matter from a liquid to a gas (Evaporation).
ReplyDeleteI went onto www.wiki.answers.com and many more websites and got different answers but I got the best website and I think that Mrs. White is corrrect.
ReplyDeleteMrs.Harn is corrent because all thought things are what make bubbles.
ReplyDeleteI think Mrs. White is correct because when you pour cold water in a glass, it forms bubbles. So Dr. Coolidge is incorrect. Ms. Harn is wrong becausr there is no oxegen or hytrogen in water. Mrs. Juan is wrong because there is something in everything. Mrs. Demeris is incorrect because there is no water in bubbles. Thanks for reading this.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I think Mrs. Harn is right because water has oxegen. Nevermind on my last comment. PLEASE DON'T READ MY LAST COMMENT BECAUSE IT'S WRONG!
DeleteI think Dr.Coolidge is right because when you are boiling something that is hot that causes the bubbles to start to get hot then they start to float up with hot air in them.
ReplyDeleteBut heat is not matter so it impossible that it is just heat because it is not matter. But yes there it does float straight up because the vapor is hot
DeleteMrs. White is correct because I looked it up amd it said air is inside most of the time. Mrs. Harn could be correct because air is hydrogen and oxygen. -Ali F.
ReplyDeleteMrs.White cannot be correct because air is made up of different substances like nitrogen and argon and others. Mrs.Harn can be correct because the water is made of hydrogen and oxygen witch in the gas form is water vapor witch is what comes out of boiling water. BTW Hydrogen and Oxygen are not the only things that make up air
DeleteI agree with you that mrs.harn is correct because well you already said that the water is made out of hydrogen and oxygen and you can turn water into oxygen and its a gas and liquids can change into gasses.
DeleteYou are saying that hydrogen and oxygen are separated and if they get separated that would make a violent chemical reaction and water boiling water is not a chemical reaction
DeleteI think Mrs. Harn is right
ReplyDelete1. Because you can't see heat trapped in the water as bubbles. (Dr. Coolidge)
2. there is no such thing as invisible forms of water. That would be water vapor. (Mrs. Demeris)
3. You can't all of a sudden get air in your water when there's no air at the bottom. (Mrs. White)
4. If there was nothing in the bubbles, when the bubbles pop and you breathe it in, you'll die just like in space. (Mrs. Juan)
5. I think Mrs. Harn is right because the heat makes some of the hydrogen and oxygen separate and move very fast and turn into bubbles.
If H and O molecules separate it would make a violent reaction
DeleteI searched on wikianswers and it said bubbles were a sphere of air. Mrs. White I think you are right because I also Asked my mom, my brother [8th grade] and my dad. They all said the same thing... AIR!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think Mrs. White is correct because when water boils, the water is changing from a liquid to a gas. Gas is air. Water is made up of hydrogen and water, but I don't think they separate when bubbles are formed.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mrs.White because whene water gets realy hot and starts to boil some of it will tearn in to gas-gas is air and air is oxogen.So Mrs.White would be correct.
ReplyDeleteWait I just found out that all gas is not air. Gas can be made up of other things like Nitrogen. I am going to go with Mrs. Harn. Heat is something that wouldn't be in a bubble. Heat is a action, not something you can hold. Water isn't invisible. I think since water is made up of Hydrogen and Oxygen, Mrs. Harn is right. She is the principal :)
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteI think miss Demeris is right 'cause the bubbles are water evaporating in air and it is basically water vapor that has evaporated in water. I got this information from my dad because he studied science and he knows what the bubbles are and helped me understand it .
ReplyDeleteI agree with you because it is water vapor that evaporated to water
Deletei think Mrs.Haren is correct because bubbels are made out of hydrogen and oxaegon.
ReplyDeleteI think Dr.Coolidge is right because I went on wiki and it said that the bubbles are filled with heat.
ReplyDeleteYes the vapor inside of it is hot, but heat is not matter so that can not be right. There is something inside the bubble. Not just heat. That doesn't make sense
DeleteI think it is Mrs.White because bubbles are made out of Hot Air so it says it is made out of air but not a particular type of air so it could be hot. So I think that Mrs.White is correct.
ReplyDeleteBut air is not made up of only H and O
Deleteit's a tie between Mrs.Harn and Mrs.White, because both are almost the same, and i cant decide.
ReplyDeleteI'd say Mrs.Harn because Mrs.White's answer says that it is filled with air but water is not liquid air so the bubbles cannot be filled with air .
DeleteI think that ms. Harn is right because bubbles are not ACTUALLY water, especially whan you heat it. Bubbles are created out of oxigen and sometimes out of nytrogen, so she is right.Blowing your mind?X_X
ReplyDeleteI aggree with you Matthew(and Mrs.Harn) the bubbles are made out of oxygen.
DeleteI think Dr. Coolidge right is because the bubbles start at the bottom. That is where the heat is. When the bubbles get to the top, they evaporate and are filled with heat. And Mrs. Charles is boiling water!
ReplyDeleteI agree because they start to boil
ReplyDeleteI mean heat up
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mrs. White because I tested it out and both hot and cold water can form bubbles.(That eliminates Dr. Cool and Mrs. Demeris). Hot air does rise but remember, air allways rises through water because air is less dence than water no matter the temperature. Mrs. Harn is wrong because detached Hydrogen and Oxygen would just combine again to make water(H2O).
ReplyDeleteI agree with Dr.Coolidge. I went on www.wikianswers.com It said that the bubbles of boiling water are made up of heat. Also the water is boiling so that would make the bubbles hot.
ReplyDeletethe bubbels have oxogen in then so that is why they rise
ReplyDeletei think it is dr. coolidge because if the water is hot then means the oxegan inside the water is hot and comes up hot so they are bubbles of heat
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mrs.Coolidge because bubbles in boiling water are made from heat
ReplyDeleteI also agree with Dr.Coolidge because I went to chemed.chem.purdue.edu and that website said that bubbles have either heat, air, or oxygen and hydrogen inside of them. Since this is boiling water it would be heat.
DeleteI think Mrs. White is right because the air in the bubble is water vapor caused by the water boiling and water vapor is basically water in a gas form. I got my answers from Ask.com!!
ReplyDeleteI think Mrs. White is right because I went on www.answerbag.com and the website said that bubble are still air even at boiling tempature.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Dr.Collidge because the heat makes the bubbles boil with makes them come of heat
ReplyDeletei think dr.cooliage is right because the bubbles are bolling so they are hot so the bubbles must come from the heat witch comes from the water that is 100% celuis
ReplyDeleteI think that Dr.Coolidge is right because if you have bubbles the water is hot so that makes the bubbles full of heat. Plus I went on wiki answers and it told me that they're full of heat and ask.com told me the same.
ReplyDeleteI think Mrs. Harn is right because hydrogen and oxygen molecules are in the h2o atom. H2o (water) is in water vapor (steam). When the bubbles form they change their state of matter. A liquid to a gas. Steam is gas is right. I also did this experiment at home. I boiled a pot of water and I saw the bubbles. But when you put a lid on the pot after a while you can see little droplets of water on the top. You can tell its condensading. Those droplets are from the water vapor which are running out of air and are condensading. Then when I took of the lid steam came out like I said earlier. I also found a website that really help me understand (A LOT).It does a close up inside a bubble and it shows what the molecules are doing.
ReplyDeleteThe website is:

Hope this helps! ;)
I don't agree with any of them. Dr. Coolige is wrong because heat is not matter and if the bubbles were filled with heat they would collapse in on themselves. I don't agree with Mrs. White because the bubbles are forming at the bottom of the pot and there is no air at the bottom of the pot there is H2O which is not air. I don't agree with Mrs. Demeris because if the bubbles were invisible Mrs. Charles wouldn't be able to see them and she is not saying what is inside the bubbles. I don't agree with Mrs. Juan because if the bubbles were empty than they would collapse in on themselves. I don't agree with Mrs. Harn because the bubbles have H2O in them, not just hydrogen molecules and oxygen molecules. Mrs. Harn and Demeris were probably the closest.
ReplyDeleteI argee with you, but Mrs. Harn is the right one.
DeleteI to agree with Mrs.Harn
DeleteI think that the answer is Mrs.White.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Dr. Coolidge they are bubbles of heat because shes boiling water.
ReplyDeleteI think that Dr. Coolidge because the water is boiling.
ReplyDeleteI think that Dr. Coolidge is right because if the water is hot, the bubbles have to be hot also
ReplyDeletei think it is all heat so that why it bubbles to the top of the pot then the energy for the air goes faster and faster till it is boiling
ReplyDeleteI think think it is Dr.Coolidge.
ReplyDeleteI agree the answer is Dr. Coolidge because Mrs. Charles was boiling the water so the bubbles have to have heat in them for the water to boil.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteI believe Mrs. Harn is correct, because in hands on science we learned about the different types of atoms, the h2o atom was one of them. I remember that the h2o atom was made out of oxygen and hydrogen. The other reason I believe Mrs. Harn is because all the other answers that were on there were WAY off, Mrs. Harn's answer made the most sense to me.
I think the answer is Dr. Coolidge because the boiling water has heat in them, that's why I think the answer is Dr. Coolidge.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Harn is right. Bubbles formed at the bottom because that is where the heat is--the water at the top is not hot enough to boil yet. The heat causes the water molecules at the bottom to reach the boiling point. This turns the water into steam, or water vapor like some of the other kids said. But it cant be called just heat--the heat breaks the water molecule into 2 hydrogens and 1 oxygen. Both of these are gases which then rise to the top of the pot. They burst there because the pressure around them causes to fall apart. My references were my Dad and a website on the Stevens Institute of technology.
ReplyDeletei agre with Dr. Coolidge because if the water is boiling then the bubbles are boiling
ReplyDeleteI think Mrs.Harn is correct because because when the bubble comes up it does not break the hydrogen moliculs
ReplyDeleteI think Dr.Coolidge because if she would have toched it it would have been hot and steam rises so makeing it heat.
ReplyDeleteI think mrs.harn is correct
ReplyDeleteIt is steam or the gaseous form of H2O (water). As the water is heated it changes from a liquid to a gas. Since the heat is coming from the bottom (in a pot) and the top of the water is cooler, the gas forms bubbles.
ReplyDeletei got that fom www.wiki.answers.com
I think Mrs. Demeris is the closest because I found on the following website that the bubbles are water vapor. As the heating element is hotter than 100°C (212°F), water turns from liquid into gas.
ReplyDeleteDefinition: Water Vapor is a gas that is why its a bubble
Website: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/When_water_boils_what_is_in_the_bubbles
I believe Mrs. Harn is correct because hydrogen and oxygen are pretty much air (they are sort of?). I did the experiment and I almost burned my self but when I poped it steam rose but it wasn't a bubble of heat. HEAT CAN NOT MAKE BUBBLES!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think Dr.coolidge is correct because I did in my house and it look like bubble is fron heat.
ReplyDeleteI think Dr. Coolidge is correct because the bubbles in boiling water are steamed or vaporized water. The water is hot so that is what would make the in and outer part hot.
ReplyDeleteI think Mrs White is right because I think the bubbles are filled with air. They float from the bottom to the top. We boiled water at home for my moms cup of tea and I watched the bubbles rise. Thats how I got the answer. I also imagined a balloon filled with air at the bottom of a pool and how it would rise up and float.
ReplyDeleteI think its Mrs. White, beacause heated air rises and bubbles are made of air.
ReplyDeleteI think Mrs.Harn is correct because when they come up the hydrogen molecules don't change.
ReplyDeleteMrs.Harn is correct , hydrogen turns in to gas and escapes to the atmosphere.
