I found the article titled, “Bubble shapes” to be an efficient way to teach students a few different things. This article covers light and how it reflects as well as surface area and why bubbles are shaped in a sphere. I was interested as I read this article to find out why a bubble pops and why it shows so many colors in it. I’ve never had these concepts related back to something as simple as a bubble and it was really neat to learn about. I think kids would really enjoy this article and the activity along with it! The article mentions that bubbles pop because of the air evaporation and mentioned several factors such as the wind and sun that contribute to this. This would be a great thing to test in the classroom and note the observations in a science journal.
