🫧🌿 Bubbleology: Nature’s Chemistry in Action
A dazzling science show bursting with colour, chemistry, and botanical brilliance!
Step into a world where plants become potions, bath bombs fizz into life, and bubbles float, bounce, stretch, and soar!
In this interactive, laughter-filled science show, Scientific Sue invites young volunteers to become Junior Bubbleologists, helping to uncover the magical science hiding inside everyday materials.
Blending chemistry, forces, gases, and the wonders of the natural world, Bubbleology transforms scientific ideas into playful, memorable experiences for audiences of all ages.
✨ What to Expect
Bubbleology is packed with spectacular demonstrations designed to ignite curiosity and bring Science2Life. Each performance is tailored to KS1, KS2, or KS3, with language, explanations, and content adjusted for age and curriculum level.
Together, we will explore:
🫧 Bubbles vs Balloons
Scientific Sue demonstrates a stunning bubble trick by blowing smaller bubbles inside one giant shimmering bubble.
Investigate how these two familiar favourites compare.
Explore air pressure, forces, gas behaviour, buoyancy, and elasticity as we discover why some bubbles float, some sink, and some even bounce!
What is the secret to making giant bubbles?
🌿 Nature’s Colour-Changing Potions
Transform real plants into pH-sensitive botanical dyes and turn them into magical, colour-changing bath bombs.
Learn how chemists (and even ancient peoples!) used plants to test acidity and alkalinity long before modern laboratories existed.
🚀 Fizz-Powered Rocket Science
Discover how chemical reactions create gases with very different properties.
Watch carbon dioxide rockets launch and foaming oxygen bubbles burst into action as we explore how fuel, force, and thrust send real rockets skyward.
🫧 The Secret of Super Bubble Solutions
What makes some bubbles stronger than others?
Test different bubble mixes, bounce bubbles on magic gloves, and help create giant sky-hugging bubbles with enormous custom wands.
