Bubble Science Show for Schools Enquire Now 🫧 Spectacular Physics & Chemistry Bubble Science Show Surface Tension, Light & Geometry for K to Year 4 Bubbles are far more than just play—they are a gateway to understanding the fundamental laws of physics and chemistry. This high-energy performance uses giant bubbles and intricate soapy structures to demonstrate how the world sticks together. From exploring why bubbles are always round to creating cube-shaped bubbles and the science of rainbows (thin-film interference), our expert presenters turn a school hall into a laboratory of wonder. The show culminates in our signature moment: putting a student inside a giant bubble! What Students Discover: Surface Tension: Investigating the “skin” of a liquid and how it behaves. Optics & Colour: Why bubbles display rainbows through reflection and refraction. Geometric Shapes: Using frames to create cube and pyramid bubbles. Material Science: What makes the perfect bubble solution (polymers and chemistry). The Scientific Method: Predicting and testing bubble behavior in real-time. Education-First Leadership Led by Churchill Fellow Ben Newsome, we ensure every “pop” is a learning opportunity. 4 Million+ Students Inspired since 2004 Trustpilot Check Availability 👥 Up to 60 students per show. ⏱️ High-impact 45-minute session. 📜 Full Risk Assessments & WWCC.

Foundation to Level 2 objects can be made of one or more different materials; these materials have observable properties. VC2S2U04 materials can be combined in a variety of ways for particular purposes; the properties of objects and mixtures can differ from the properties of the materials from which they are made. VC2S2U05 experiences can be used as a basis for posing questions to explore observed patterns and relationships, and to make predictions. VC2S2I01 observations, findings and ideas can be shared with others by using everyday and some scientific vocabulary. VC2S2I06 Levels 3 and 4 solids, liquids and gases have observable properties; adding or removing heat energy leads to a change of state between solids, liquids and gases. VC2S4U04 the properties of natural and made materials, including fibres, metals, glass and plastics, influence their use and re-use.

Cube-shaped bubbles Geometry & surface tension in action Rainbow rings Learn about light wave interference in bubbles Gigantic bubbles Investigate the scientific method. So awesome! Bubble in a bubble There's a trick to this... Frozen bubbles Frozen bubbles tell us about our climate Bubble volcano An eruption of bubbles! Bouncing bubbles How can the bubble mix be this strong? Molecular bubbles Bubles form predicatable angles.. learn about chemistry! Dancing bubble Just for fun :) Colour mixing Learn how colour addition works Newton colour wheel Discover the science behind light Boo Bubbles White orbs that delight students Science show content What Students Experience: The Physics of Surface Tension This performance strips away the simplicity of the soap bubble to reveal the complex chemistry and physics beneath. Students engage with the scientific method as they predict, observe, and explain the behavior of liquids under different conditions. 1. Molecular Chemistry We investigate what makes a bubble “strong.” Students explore the role of polymers and surfactants, discovering how varying ingredients influence the elasticity and longevity of the bubble mix. 2. Surface Tension & Light Using large-scale demonstrations, we link surface tension to how water functions in nature. Students then witness light diffraction in action, learning how thin-film interference creates the shifting rainbows on a bubble’s surface. 3. Real-World Engineering The show connects soapy fun to the real world. We discuss how architects and engineers use bubble geometry to design efficient structures and how biological systems utilize these same physical laws. Highly Visual STEM Engagement The Bubble Science show is a favorite for primary incursions because it makes abstract physics incredibly visual. It is an ideal anchor for units on States of Matter, Properties of Materials, or Light and Sight.
