Be a Bubble
After blowing bubbles, have the children be bubbles. Have the children move as you
narrate the following story:
"One windy day, I decided to blow some bubbles. So I went outside and opened my
bottle of bubbles. Then I pulled out the stick and began to blow. The bubble got bigger
and bigger and bigger and bigger and then POP! My bubble popped and fell to the
floor. So I blew another bubble. I blew and blew and this bubble went floating into the
air. It spun around and around. Then it flew up high. Then it flew down low. Then it
started flying backwards. And finally it fell to the floor and went POP!"
(BE SURE TO PAUSE MANY TIMES SO THE CHILDREN CAN ACT OUT ALL OF
THESE SITUATIONS)
Lesson Idea
Air is a real substance and has weight. Light sometimes changes color when it passes through water. Science can be fun. Needed: Liquid detergent, straws, cups, construction paper, and crayons. Put a small amount of soap and water into cups so that each child has a cup of soapy water. Dip the end of the straw into the cup; remove straw allowing the soapy mixture to drip once.
Blow gently and produce a bubble. Talk about air being inside of the bubble. Talk about how the bubble has different colors because light changes when it shines through the bubble. Ask the children why they think bubbles burst when they hit the ground.
An Explanation of Principles
Light is broken into different wavelengths as it passes through water, allowing the different colors to be seen. Wet rings on the construction paper show that a bubble is composed of water surrounding air.

Colored Bottle Bubbles
Fill a plastic pop bottle one third full with water. Add tempera paint & about 1/3 cup of liquid detergent. Let the children shake the bottle to make colored bubbles. I like to tape the cap on using masking tape.
Bubble Wrap Painting
Use bubble packaging to paint with. It works well if you make the packaging into a glove (fold over and staple) I used this on fish – they looked awesome.
Catching Bubbles
Put a little tempera paint in your bubble juice and blow bubbles outside while the children run & catch the bubbles on paper.
Coffee Filter Bubbles
We folded coffee filters into a pizza slice shape and dipped them in a mixture of food coloring and water to make a bubble. When we unfolded their filters, a colorful tie-dye pattern could be seen.
