Bubbles

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

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...

Students practice scientific inquiry while learning about bubbles. In this lesson about bubbles, students explore characteristics of bubbles. Students move through nine different "bubble" stations following directions and completing an...

Students conduct an experiment with bubbles.  In this observation and comparison instructional activity, students read Bubbles, Bubbles, Everywhere and conduct an experiment where they test different kinds of liquids to see which is the...

Students observe the characteristics of bubbles. In this scientific inquiry instructional activity, students use a bubble solution and a wand to make bubbles and observe their characteristics. Students identify the shape and the color of...

Fourth graders explore properties of bubbles. In this instructional activity about bubbles, 4th graders perform an experiment. Students analyze the properties of bubble making substances and surface tension. Students create a square...

Learners learn through bubbles. In this science lesson plan, students test the effect of four differently shape wands and three geometric figures in a bubble mixture.

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...

Create jumbo bubbles and use them to teach about surface tension or interference, perfect for a physical science lesson on light or molecular attraction.
