Bubbles

Bubble Science

Everyone has played with bubbles at some point in their life. However, many people may not think about what a bubble really is. What makes a bubble a bubble? Six of the students in grades 4-7 investigated the science behind soap bubbles through hands on experimenting. While we were doing our experimenting on bubbles and their properties, we recorded our findings to each experiment on charts. Then we discussed our data together as a group. Areas of bubbles that we focused on were surface tension, cohesion of molecules, clustering, the variables that lead to so many different brands of soap and the properties that lead to a bubble popping or not popping on particular surfaces.
