The Science of Bubbles

Today we made huge bubbles,

and learned the science of bubbles.

We watched this YouTube video about the Bubble Artist,

Keith Johnson.

He talked about three scientific principles of bubbles.

First, bubbles act like a prism
so you can see the colors reflected off of them.

She loved looking at all the colors.
We used a hula hoop, a little water an a TON of soap
to make our HUGE bubbles

Second, bubbles like to be in the form of a circle.

We experimented with different shape of bubble wands,

and all of the bubbles turned out in the shape of a sphere.

Third, bubbles like to be wet.

So if you get your hand wet, you can put it through a bubble.

This one was so fun!

 She loved putting her hand slowly into the center of the bubble.

We played outside for ages!

I gave her other toys and she started playing beauty parlor.

Safety Note: Baby H. also liked to play with the bubbles.

However, he slipped and got his eyes in the soap.

So if you do this try to keep your babies eyes out of the soap.
