Bubbles, who doesn’t love bubbles? They are not only fun, but they can be educational! This hands-on experiment for kids teaches tricky chemical concepts like surface tension, cohesion, and adhesion.
In this lesson we will
– Practice a little surface tension magic
– Make a whole lotta bubbles!
– Experiment with bubble wand shapes
– Find out why bubbles are always round
– Attempt to make a square bubble
In addition, we include fun science illustrations to visually explain the tricky chemical concepts. This visual aspect helps expand the lesson to every variety of learner.
