What keeps bubbles and other things, like airplanes, floating or flying in the air?

In this activity, learners will construct a device to blow bubbles. By adding corn syrup to the bubble solution, we can increase the surface tension of the bubbles--and their size.

Learn about chemical reactions by making a Bubble Bomb, a plastic bag you can pop with the power of fizz.

Capture soap bubble patterns on paper! In this activity, learners can create beautiful pictures from popping soap bubbles.

Everybody loves bubbles, and this is the best bubble recipe ever!

How do you measure a bubble when it's floating? You can't really, but in this activity, learners can measure the diameter of the ring of suds a bubble leaves on a flat surface.

In this activity, learners will be making the opposite of a bubble, an anti bubble! This low start up activity is fun, informative, and best of all-a little messy!

In this activity, learners develop spatial reasoning skills as they blow bubbles and observe what happens when the bubbles connect.

With little more than a flashlight, a straw, and a plastic lid, make an observatory so you can see the amazing colors in bubbles.

In this experiment, learners use JOY liquid detergent and glycerin to make the largest bubble they can that lasts 15 seconds.

In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bubble maze that allows bubbles to move through a series of “on” and “off” switches.

In this activity, learners will use bubble wrap to print patterns on paper and experiment with mixing colors.

In this activity, learners will create their own bubble solution. Learners will explore chemistry, geometry and trial and error through this activity.

The beautiful iridescent colors of a bubble in a can! With this Exploratorium Science Snack, create beautiful soap films on the open end of a can to see beautiful rainbows of color.

In this demonstration, adult learners create a lava lamp using beer and nuts! Use this pub-themed activity to demonstrate the effects of buoyancy and bubbles.

In this activity (on pages 13-16 of the PDF) learners investigate three mystery samples to see which one contains life. The three samples are sand, sand and yeast, and sand and antacid.

Learners use a commercially available toy to experiment with density. They fill a chamber in the toy submarine with baking powder and release it into a tank of water.

In this activity, learners will explore density and it's relationship with mass.

In this activity, learners will explore acid-base reactions and create their own bubbly results.

In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of air pressure. They will watch as marshmallows inside a bottle expand as a vacuum pump removes air from the bottle.
