A fabulously interactive and exciting show, suitable for ages 6 and up that explores surface tension, molecular structure, cohesive forces, chemical reactions, air presure, film interference and more!
Whether you are expecting a large audience of over 100 children, or a more intimate setting of 15, Professor Bubblegum will take your young scientists through a journey that explores some of the amazing things that bubbles can teach us, and reinforces the idea that we should always ask questions, and that learning is fun!
BONUS: As an extra addon, I can also provide the following:
A certificate of attendance for each child
A hands-on exploration of bubbles including age-appropriate wands and netx, and teaching the children the art of hand bubbles
A crafting workshop where we create our own tetrahedrons to create 3D shaped bubbles!
... All in the name of science and exploration, Professor Bubblegum's show is not one you'll want to miss.
What we'll be exploring:
1. Surface Tension – The physical property of liquid where the water molecules are equally pulling against one another, forming a "skin" on the surface of the water. It is sometimes strong enough to support the weight of very light object like strong, paperclips and insects!
2. Molecular structure – Everything in the world is made of tiny building blocks called atoms. When these tiny blocks hold hands and stick together, they make a shape called a molecule. The way they hook up and fit together is their molecular structure,
3. Cohesive forces – The attractive forces that bind identical molecules together within a substance. In fluid dynamics and chemistry, water has high cohesion due to its polar molecular structure.
4. Chemical reaction – A chemical reaction is a process where starting materials, called reactants, break their chemical bonds and rearrange their atoms to form entirely new substances, called products. No atoms are created or destroyed; they just connect in new ways (eg, acid-base reaction resulting in CO2 gas).
5. Denaturation – The process where a protein loses its shape and stops working. Proteins need a specific three-dimensional structure to function. When that structure breaks down, the protein can no longer do its job.
6. Plateau's Law - When multiple bubbles meet, they always merge at an exact 120-degree angle to balance the structural forces evenly and remain stable.
7. Gas flow rate – Higher injection speed or volume pumps more gas in, increasing the initial volume before detachment.
8. Pore size - The physical opening sets the baseline scale for the emerging bubble. Smaller hole, smaller bubble. Bigger opening, bigger bubble!
9. Film interference – An optical phenomenon where light waves reflecting off the top and bottom surfaces of a transparent layer (like a soap bubble or an oil slick) combine to amplify or cancel each other out, creating brilliant rainbow colours.
