Ok, so there’s not really a science called bubbleology but that’s not to say that there isn’t a lot of science to be learned from bubbles.  At Exploratorium, Ron Hipschman does a fabulous job of explaining the elemental forces at work in a soap bubble.

Mix yourself up a batch of bubble solution at home using this formula also from the Exploratorium.

  • 2/3 cup Joy dishwashing soap
  • 1 gallon water
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons of glycerine (available at the pharmacy or chemical supply house.)
