Summer Science: Bubbles!

Summer is the perfect time to explore and learn fun new things about the world around us. Take advantage of the longer days and (hopefully!) more free time to get outside with the kids in your life and celebrate science!

What is more fun in summer than bubbles? Not much! Kids of all ages love playing with bubbles, and there's so much science (and math!) to learn from the lovely spheres. So head to the dollar store to buy some bubble solution or make your own, and get blowing! If it's a rainy day or you just can't get outside, have a bubble bath instead. Check out the books below to help talk about the science of bubbles with your child.

"Bubbles Float, Bubbles Pop" by Mark Weakland--Learn the basics of bubbles in this informative book.

"Bubble Trouble" by Margaret Mahy--For a silly bubble story to get your whole family giggling, check this out!

"The Ultimate Bubble Book" by Shar Levine and Leslie Johnstone--This book is awesome! It has multiple bubble solution recipes and oodles of experiments and tricks for beginner bubble-blowers to advanced. Perfect for the grade school set.
