Discover the wind's direction using bubbles, a map and a keen eye. Learners blow bubbles and note their general direction on a map, taking readings from different points around a building.

In this simple activity, learners see the production of a gas, which visibly fills up a balloon placed over the neck of a bottle.

Learners create hard water by mixing Epsom salt and water. Then they compare what happens when soap solution is mixed with hard water and regular water.

Learners discover the bubble power of living cells in this multi-hour experiment with baker's yeast. Learners make a living yeast/water solution in a bottle, and add table sugar to feed the yeast.

In this activity, learners use simple materials to create giant bubbles.

In this activity, learners explore why they can see colors in bubbles and why they change.

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

In this activity, learners mix up a bubbly brew and examine density. Learners explore how they can make different materials fall and rise in water using oil, water, and salt.

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

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

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 observe as soap bubbles float on a cushion of carbon dioxide gas. Learners blow bubbles into an aquarium filled with a slab of dry ice.

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

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.
