The Secret to Great Bubbles

Bubbles are fun for the young and old alike, but have you ever really thought about bubbles for an extended period of time?

For example, have you ever wondered how to make the perfect bubble? Ever wondered why bubbles pop when they touch your skin? Ever wondered if there was a way to play with bubbles more without them popping?  

The Steve Spangler team sure has thought about bubbles a lot, and has even created a great video just about the wonders of bubbles.  Check out the video "The Science of Bubbles" below for info on why bubbles are (normally) round, how to make your own bubble solution, and just general bubble fun for everyone.

So go get your Egghead on and start playing, and most importantly keep learning!

Exciting Science

This blog — originally named "Egghead Experiments" NOW named "Egghead Education" — wished to get educators and students alike excited about learning. With that in mind, here's a cute (short) video by Steve Spangler that helps students get thinking about how variables impact results. Perfect for a science fair project, or frankly, just for fun. Check it out:

And then report your findings. What other variables can you change or use to find similar results.
