Bubble Trouble!

Everybody loves bubbles! They float through the air, shimmering with different colors. Yet when you touch them, they disappear. You might not think that bubbles have a lot to do with science, but actually, there is a lot of physics, chemistry, and math behind them. We'll explore some of these subject this month. You'll learn how to make your own bubble solution (including one that creates longer-lasting bubbles), how to make bubbles with many different types of blowers, how to make bubble chains, and even bubbles inside of other bubbles!

As you know, bubbles are made from soap solutions, which can make you sick if you drink them. So make sure to keep all the bubble solutions away from little children. But they can play with your creations!
