The Science of Bubbles

The heat this week makes us want to play with water, so we will be doing so for the last two weeks of Science Fun at ELP.

This week we are looking at bubbles. What are they? How do they move? Why do they stick sometimes and why do they pop? What part does air and wind play in making and moving bubbles?

Soap bubble surfaces are made from thin layers of water trapped between two layers of soap film. We will make our own bubble soap, experiment with bubbles using wind and heat, and blow bubbles with our snack!

Books We Read: Bubble Trouble (Stephen Krensky)

Next Week: Ocean Life
