Bubbles

Students explore aerodynamics and Bernoulli's principle by devising ways to keep bubbles aloft.

Blow some bubbles and learn how living things need air in the eighth lesson of this series. Young scientists investigate this important gas by observing bubbles and monitoring their own breathing. A simple and fun activity that raises...

This PowerPoint provides a brightly colored "bubble map" featuring one large center circle and a smaller colored circle in each corner. This is an attractive generic graphic organizer that could be used in any content area.

A rather simple, but impressive activity is displayed in this Steve Spangler Science video. Dry ice, solid carbon dioxide, is used to create gas-filled bubbles. You can perform this as a demonstration when teaching chemistry classes...

Here is an exciting, and meaningful science lesson on the formation of bubbles! Young scientists have three cups with a variety of solutions in them. One cup has detergent only, one has glycerin added to it, and the third has corn syrup...

Investigate bubbles through the use of scientific inquiry. Pupils blow bubbles using several methods and measure the resulting bubble print. Measurements are recorded on a data table and transferred to a bar graph. Results are discussed...

Create a cushion of carbon dioxide gas to float some soap bubbles on. Many concepts can be demonstrated through this activity: Carbon dioxide gas is more dense than air Bubbles are semipermeable, allowing only carbon dioxide to diffuse...

Keith Johnson, a famous bubble artist, is highlighted in this time-warp video. Johnson explains some basic laws of nature as he blows and forms bubbles. Bubbles act like prisms and refract light, they want to be spheres, they are wet and...

Why is static electricity worse in the winter? Learn about static charges and the Van de Graaff generator before conducting a quick experiment using bubbles and a Van de Graaff. If you don't have access to one, simply play this video...

For this measurement worksheet, students use the scientific process to investigate the time bubbles created with various amounts of soap last. They also describe the bubble skin and what is inside the bubble and why it might be there.
