get really super clean water like Fiji or w\e its called and put it in a freezer to the point where it is below freezing and then when you take it out shake it and it will then freeze

supercooling happens because water is to the point below freezing but the ice crystals havent formed so when u shake it then they forming it into ice

The process of starting off a crystal is called "nucleation." In the absence of impurities in the water and imperfections in the bottle, the water can get "stuck" in its liquid state as it cools off, even below its freezing point. We say this supercooled state is "metastable."

You can't.
Tap water contains impurities like minerals which inhibit supercooling.
Pure, distilled, water is required to perform this experiment.

Water cools when it passes through air. Water cools by spraying or falling.

No,because tap water has impurities that can lower the freezing point of water or else serve as nucleation sites for crystallization:)

How does supercooling work?

Supercooling is when a liquid such as water or bear turns to ice instantly. when water is a liquid, all the particles are loose and are moving everywhere. When water is put in the freezer and go's below 0 degrees Celsius, if it is not already frozen, if you hit it, it can push a particle in place and creates a chain reaction, turning the water instantly into ice.

What is the difference in thermal and constitutional supercooling in steel?

Thermal Supercooling occurs when an advancing planner solid liquid interface becomes unstable andtriggers a spike that will appear on the interface which will then grow into a cellular type structure.While Constitutional Supercooling occurs due to compositional change, and results in cooling a liquid below its freezing point ahead of the solid liquid interface.
