Blowing Bubbles is also a Science

The science of bubblology may not be quite as serious a science as that which goes with the image of a researcher, but bubbles can be great fun. And they can make interesting science projects for the day. There are a number of things that you can experiment with.

You can take different types of soap solutions to see which ones give you the largest bubbles with the most tensile strength. The same soap with a stronger solution makes different sized bubbles as compared to with a weaker solution. And of course what you use to blow the bubbles will also make a difference.

What are you using to blow the bubbles? A wire, a plastic ring, a water bottle, a closet hanger? The size, shape and life of a bubble may depend on the implement you use to blow it up. So it is actually a science to get the soap solution right and blow lasting bubbles.

Some people have used straws and soap solution to make bubble castles as well. Learn more about bubbles and how to blow them in this article. It is a great home school science project to involve home schooling kids in. Also you learn a lot of science.
