Maker Challenge
Day 10: Bubble Maker
Vocabulary:
surface area: the area that the surface of an object occupies. In a cube, the surface area is the area of the six squares that cover it.
surface tension: the tendency of liquids to have the least surface area possible (which is why bubbles are spheres).
evaporate: to change from liquid state to vapor. If you don't pop a bubble, it will pop on its own as the water in the bubble evaporates. It takes longer for water to evaporate in colder temperatures, so if you do your bubble challenge on a cooler day, the bubbles will hang around longer.
film: a thin sheet. In bubbles, it is a thin sheet of water between soap molecules.
solution: a homogeneous mixture, or a mixture with uniform composition, of two or more substances.
Materials:
Straws are great for this challenge and can be used either to create 3D bubble makers (by inserting linked paperclips in the ends of the straws), or as bubble blowers if each student only uses their own bubble maker. I recommend aiming for wands that avoid contact with the mouth if you are doing this activity with a large group. If you are making the wands indoors and can use melted/fused beads, the shape of the wand head can be easily laid out and then attached to a craft stick. Try pipe cleaners, wire hangers, or large paper clips that can be reshaped to the desired design.
Instructions:
Ask your students to create two wands – one that makes a large bubble, and another that makes several bubbles. How are the designs different?
Test it. Which design makes the biggest bubbles? Which makes the most bubbles?
Pro Tip. Make your own bubble solution. I usually use Joy dish washing soap (some),
water (a good bit), and corn syrup (a small amount, or you can use glycerin if you
have it). There are proportions and recipes all over the Internet.
