“Blow, Bounce, Wiggle, and Pop”: The Science of Bubbles

Presented by Judy Ross | March 30, 2027 7PM EST

1 HOUR | LIVE ONLINE via ZOOM | INTERACTIVE | INTRODUCTORY LEVEL

Discover fun facts about bubbles, including what makes a bubble round; why bubbles pop; why bubbles stick together; and how the weather affects your bubble solution. Learn how to help children understand how a bubble is formed and popped by working together to create a “human bubble”; create their own DIY bubble solution to take home; and design a variety of bubble wands and blowers, using recycled materials and loose parts. Bubble activities include experimenting with household items and homemade bubble blowers (including your fingers!), and determining what works best; how to paint with bubbles; how to create the tallest bubble tower; how to blow the longest bubble snake; how to hold and bounce bubbles without popping them; the secret to creating giant bubbles; and more!

Teachers, therapists, social workers, and other early childhood professionals working with young children will benefit from this webinar.
