Science Is Fun: Floating Soap Bubbles

Curated by ACT

In this experiment you learn how to generate carbon dioxide inside a container, and float soap bubbles above the gas. Once the bubbles are suspended, it is possible to observe them closely, which is normally very difficult to do. Includes a detailed explanation of how light waves and carbon dioxide behave as they interact with the surface of the soap bubbles.
