Blow the Best Bubbles
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...
Curated OER
Bubble-ology and Bernoulli
Students explore aerodynamics and Bernoulli's principle by devising ways to keep bubbles aloft.
Exploratorium
Bubble Suspension
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...

Blowing Bubbles, Blowing Colors
Students examine the properties of bubbles by testing different bubble making materials. In this scientific experiment instructional activity, students create a bubble brew with different soaps while observing the different strengths...
Curated OER
Bubbles
Students blow bubbles using various wands and observe the shape of the bubble. They design and construct new wands and then measure and illustrate the bubbles.
Curated OER
Bubbles
Learners observe the characteristics of bubbles. In this scientific inquiry lesson, students use a bubble solution and a wand to make bubbles and observe their characteristics. Learners identify the shape and the color of the bubbles.

Summer Activities: Let's Try Bubble Blowing!
Students observe as the teacher blows bubbles from a large bubble pipe in order to take note of the colors and sizes of the bubbles. In this bubble blowing lesson, students experiment with a variety of bubble-blowing objects, predicting...
Curated OER
Bubbles Galore
Students investigate bubbles. In this science lesson, students observe how long bubbles last and graph the results of the experiment.
