Bubbles

Looking for some good clean summertime fun? Try making a batch
of bubble solution and a homemade bubble wand. My favorite
recycled bubble wands are those green plastic strawberry baskets
that accumulate in the kitchen 'cause I hate throwing them away.
For more tips on bubble blowing than you ever imagined, and a
look at the science behind those magical multi-colored floating
spheres, here are this week's site recommendations.
Art and Science of Bubbles
http://www.cleaning101.com/sdakids/bubbles/
*****
The Soap and Detergent Association presents a nice variety of
bubble tips (Bigger Better Bubbles) and tricks (The Pop-Proof
Bubble!) Navigate the bubble site by using the menu at the
bottom of the page not the left-hand menu which will take you
out of the Kid's Corner. Don't miss The Predictable Pop! which
will show you how to amaze your friends by knowing exactly when
a bubble is about to burst.
Bubblesphere
http://bubbles.org/
*****
He's traveled the world, entertaining audiences with his
bubbles, and now Professor Bubbles shares his secrets. I
especially enjoyed his homemade bubble tools and appreciated his
simple bubble solution recipes. The Questions section is a good
place to start for bubble how-tos, history and science, but
you'll need to scroll down the page to see the FAQs. For indoor
fun, try the three online bubble games.
Bubble Town
http://www.zurqui.com/crinfocus/bubble/bubble.html
*****
When the anonymous author of Bubble Town was a little boy, he
discovered a paper bubble-blowing funnel in a cereal box that
made much larger bubbles than the familiar plastic blowing
rings. Learn how to make your own amazing bubble tube from two
sheets of paper (see High Tech Bubble Tube) and learn why this
simple device creates bubbles that are both bigger and longer
lasting than other bubble wands (see Bubble Engineering).
Exploratorium Soap Bubbles
http://www.exploratorium.edu/ronh/bubbles/bubbles.html
*****
"What is so fascinating about bubbles? The precise spherical
shape, the incredibly fragile nature of the microscopically thin
soap film, the beautiful colors that swirl and shimmer, or most
likely, a combination of all these phenomena?" For an
exploration of the science of bubbles, this San Francisco
Exploratorium site is the bee's knees. And exactly what do
beehives have in common with bubble foam? Go to "Bubble Meets
Bubble" to find out.
Soap Films Made Easy
http://home.earthlink.net/~marutgers/
****
Imagine studying soap bubbles for a living! That's what Maarten
Rutgers does. For high school science students, and other
serious science fans, this site goes far beyond what is covered
in the other sites. Click on Fun/Bubble Details to learn that
"a bubble is a film, but a film is not a bubble. Bubbles usually
start as a film, for instance in a bubble wand. Once you have
blown on this film, it will separate to form a free floating
entity called a bubble. Soap films must be bounded on all sides,
or their surface tension will pull them into tiny droplets."
***** Spectacular! **** Wonderful! *** Great
