Summary
Kids will discover the science behind how bubbles form, the role of soapy surface tension, and the physics of why they always shape into spheres. Join Emma, Dr. Owl, and Ziggy the Robot as they explore why bubbles float on air currents, where their swirling rainbow colors come from, and exactly what causes them to pop. Try the fun wet-finger experiment at home and see if Ziggy can ever make a square bubble! Learning Connection: NGSS DCI: PS1.A – Structure and Properties of Matter
