- 50 ml Bouncing Bubble Solution
- 2 Magic Gloves
- 1 Bubble Blower
- 30 ml Plastic Cup
How to Make Your Bouncing Bubbles:
- Carefully open the bubble solution tube and remove the seal.
- Pour about 10 ml into the plastic cup.
- Slip on your magic glove.
- Dip the wide end of the pipette into the solution, then gently blow down to form a large tennis ball-sized bubble.
- Flick the pipette to make the bubble start falling.
- Catch the bubble and see if you can bounce it!
- Keep experimenting: How many times can you bounce a bubble?
- Try different materials—wool, cotton, rubber gloves—to see what works best.
Let’s Explore:
- What’s the maximum number of bounces you can achieve?
- How does the force used to bounce affect the bubble?
- Does the size of the bubble matter?
- Can you make bouncing bubbles with different types of soap?
- Do bubbles bounce better on certain surfaces?
Unleash your inner scientist and have a blast exploring the fascinating world of bouncing bubbles! Perfect for curious kids, science lovers, and anyone looking for a bubbly adventure.
Be fascinated and amazed!
Safety notice: It is recommended that all young children should wear safety goggles when playing with bubbles to prevent any soap splashes going into their eyes.
What to do if a bubble bursts in their eye:
Rinse eyes with lukewarm water with one of the following methods:
- Pour a gentle stream of water from a jug or clean teapot over the eye from the inside corner by the nose, across the eye, flowing out towards the ear.
- Eye may be irrigated in the shower if this can be accomplished without delay.
- Young children may be wrapped like a mummy in a towel with arms at side and held over sink or tub or laid on counter during flushing.
Warning: Slipping hazard. Clean up any spillages immediately.
Science2Life’s Science iT! activities and programmes
Children love to be engaged in learning, especially through interactive projects that they can really get involved and be hands on with.
Science2Life’s Science iT! activities and programmes are part of our STEAM Academy. The activities use everyday life objects, toys and knick-knacks and turns them into fun, innovative, hands-on experiences designed to encourage children to:
- discover the amazing world of science and engineering
- to perform engaging activities that show how science and engineering is at work in their everyday lives
- to foster a lifelong love of science and engineering
- to give a basic grounding in scientific concepts and scientific thinking
- to increase children’s motivation to learn and
- enhance their perception, creativity and logic.
Hands-on learning is learning by doing.
Children involved in our ‘Science iT!’ activities and programmes are introduced to various STEAM learning methods and activities. Our creative programmes involve learning activities that require active thinking and experimenting to find out how things work. We all know how curious children are about the world around them and how they love using the word ‘why?’
The aim of our activities is to provide optimal learning opportunities that strategically help children grasp mathematics, engineering and science concepts.
The inclusion of the arts component into STEM makes it more fun to learn, and more approachable to children.
Art education allows children to learn things in a more open-ended way and make them applicable to real life.
Links to the curriculum
All of Science2Life activities can be used to entertain children – however they have been created with the curriculum in mind, so are perfect activities to generate mesmerizing examples of the topics they can be used to explore.
Plus our Science iT! activities can up scaled-up to be used in workshops within the classroom, for festival and birthday celebrations, which provide opportunities for children to collaborate on initiatives, explorations and creations.
The idea behind our Science iT! activities is to ignite children’s natural innate curiosity about the world around them (and the items in it) and to channel their enthusiasm for scientific discovery as early as possible.
Currently Science2Life have the following Science iT! activities:
- The Magical EVANESCO Spell
- The Magical AMORTENTIA Spell
- The Super Bouncing Bubble Kit
- Make your own Fossil Kit
- Colour Changing Bracelet Kit
- Pneumatic Monsters Activity
- Creative Circuits
- The Magical Wandarama
- Gone Fishing
- The Jitter Bug
Each of the above activities can be turned into a workshop programme! Interested? Give us a call!
