Try it again and make sure anything that touches the bubble is completely wet with bubble solution.)įor another trick that works best, get one hand completely wet in the bubble mixture then use the other hand to hold your bubble blower and blow a huge bubble in the palm of your wet hand.

If you try poking dry scissors through your bubble, you will see it pop instantly! (If it popped when you put the wet scissors in, something was probably too dry. The bubble solution on the scissors filled in the hole that would have been made.

You should have been able to push the scissors through the wall of the bubble without popping it! When something wet touches a bubble, it doesn't poke a hole in the wall of the bubble, it just slides through and the bubble forms right around it. Try the trick again, but make a wand in any shape you want - what about a star or a triangle? Do bubbles from those shapes become round too? Bubble Trick Trick #2 Response: The soap molecules always stretch into a round shape automatically! A round shape takes up less space than a square shape.

The bubble was round even though it came from a square! Bubbles are always in the shape of a circle when they detach and float through the air because the skin of soap always tries to take up the least amount of space it can and still keep the same amount of air inside the bubble.

Can you stick your finger through the bubble? Try it again with other pointed objects, just make sure anything you touch to the bubble is wet. Poke the scissors through the wall of your bubble.

What happened when you put your soapy finger into the water? The soap on your finger broke the water's surface tension and some of the water molecules didn't stick to each other anymore and they were pushed out of the glass! The water molecules still stuck to each other and nothing spilled! Why didn't the dome break when you stuck your finger through it? Why didn't the water spill over the glass? Well, the surface tension was strong enough that it just went around your finger. Surface tension is what caused the water to rise up above the rim of the glass in the experiment - the water molecules stuck together to make a dome instead of spilling over the side. The molecules on the very top of the water stick together very closely to make a force called surface tension. The molecules are attracted to each other and stick together. Water is made up of lots of tiny molecules.
