If you’ve seen one of Professor Pop’s shows, and you would like to play with bubbles too, just click this link. This study guide will teach you two different bubble recipes and some fun ways to use them.
Indoor Bubble Show
Get ready for “The Science of Bubbles” – an exciting and educational program that will quench your child’s thirst for knowledge! This program is specially designed to teach kids about a common phenomenon – bubbles – in a fun and engaging way. The program kicks off with a stunning demonstration of surface tension that will leave your child in awe. Moreover, the program will impart crucial scientific skills such as the scientific method and how to touch a bubble without bursting it. The presenter will also encourage kids to explore books on science. As the program progresses, your child will learn how bubbles refract light and hold all colors of the rainbow. They’ll also witness a variety of bubbles, from bubbles within bubbles to bubbles on bubbles, that will keep them captivated. The grand finale will be the showstopper – the biggest bubbles they’ve ever seen! So big that they can even fit a child inside them. To ensure a seamless program, we’ll provide six mats, each capable of holding one gallon of liquid without leaking. The presenter will bring only two gallons of liquid to the program. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to nurture your child’s curiosity and let them have a blast with bubbles.
Alignment with STAAR Science Standards
- Scientific Method Practice
- Students observe demonstrations, form hypotheses (e.g., “Will this bubble pop if I touch it?”), test, and draw conclusions.
- STAAR heavily assesses the ability to design and interpret experiments.
- Properties of Matter
- Surface tension, liquids, and gases are core concepts in elementary and middle school science.
- STAAR questions often ask students to identify physical properties and explain phenomena.
- Light and Optics
- Bubbles refracting light and showing rainbow colors directly tie to STAAR objectives on light behavior, reflection, and refraction.
- Cause-and-Effect Relationships
- “Bubble within bubble” demonstrations illustrate how variables (air pressure, liquid film thickness) affect outcomes — mirroring STAAR’s focus on experimental variables.
- Vocabulary Reinforcement
- Terms like surface tension, refract, rainbow spectrum, and hypothesis are embedded in STAAR test language.
Outdoor Bubble Show
Looking for a unique and thrilling experience for your kids? Look no further than Professor Pop’s Bubble Show! Your kids will be mesmerized by the power of wind as it creates enchanting bubbles outdoors. With each routine lasting three minutes, the thirty-minute show is fast-paced and fun. They will learn about the science of bubbles and how light reacts around them, while having a great time chasing giant bubbles and bubble clusters. Plus, Professor Pop uses only bubble soap approved by the Department of National Parks, ensuring it’s safe for grass. With just a 12′ x 12′ “stage area” and a place for the audience to stand, the show is ready to begin. Don’t miss out on this magical experience for your kids!
This show is not available during the summer.
The Bubble Wagon
If you are having a fair, festival, carnival, or another large event, you may need something other than a show. The Bubble Wagon is a smaller, more portable version of the Professor Pop Bubble Show. It has two bubble machines that work constantly, and Brett will amaze everyone with giant bubbles. Instead of a show, Brett will provide constant bubbles that kids will have fun popping.
The Bubble STEM Lab
Enjoy the wonder of The Bubble STEM Lab, an exciting and interactive bubble playground designed to spark curiosity and joy in children. Our DJ quality bubble machines will fill the area with countless bubbles for kids to play with and explore. With six bubble centers featuring a variety of bubble fluid and toys, children can engage in hands-on learning about the fascinating science of bubbles. The atmosphere is enhanced with giant clear beach balls that resemble bubbles, and the kids can enjoy lively, bubble-themed music like “Under the Sea” and “Yellow Submarine” while they play. The experience not only provides fun but also fosters the development of motor skills in younger children and scientific knowledge in older children. Join us for an unforgettable hour of discovery and delight.
STEM Educational Standards Connections
Science (NGSS)
- Physical Science (PS1, PS2):
- Explore matter and its interactions through bubble fluid ingredients and surface tension.
- Investigate forces and motion by observing how bubbles float, rise, and pop.
- Earth & Space Science (ESS2):
- Observe how air pressure and gases affect bubble formation.
- Scientific Practices:
- Children ask questions, make predictions, and test bubble solutions (scientific method).
- Record observations (size, shape, longevity of bubbles) to analyze patterns.
Technology
- Use of Bubble Machines:
- Demonstrates how tools and technology enhance experiments.
- Encourages children to compare machine-made bubbles vs. hand-made wands.
Engineering
- Engineering Design Standards (ETS1):
- Kids can design and test bubble wands of different shapes and materials.
- Apply iterative design: hypothesize, build, test, and refine.
- Problem-Solving:
- Challenges like making square or cube-shaped bubbles encourage creative engineering.
Mathematics
- Geometry & Measurement:
- Identify shapes (spheres, cubes, cylinders) in bubble experiments.
- Estimate and measure bubble diameters, lifespans, and counts.
- Patterns & Data:
- Record bubble outcomes and compare across different fluids or tools.
Early Childhood Development
- Motor Skills:
- Younger children develop gross motor skills by chasing and popping bubbles.
- Sensory & Cognitive Growth:
- Older children engage in critical thinking, experimentation, and problem-solving.
