Bubble Suspension

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Create a cushion of carbon dioxide gas to float some soap bubbles on. Many concepts can be demonstrated through this activity:

  • Bubbles are semipermeable, allowing only carbon dioxide to diffuse in, but not the air to escape out
  • Sublimation from a solid to a gas
