Setup

Gather bubble solution, pipe cleaners, straws and clear a small work surface. Read the Bubble Delivery Service mission aloud, then place the supplies where children can choose and compare them safely.

Activity

  1. Blow a few test bubbles and predict what kind of tool might carry a bubble from one spot to another without popping it.
  2. Build a bubble-catching tool using a bent pipe-cleaner loop, straw, or damp paper cup.
  3. Try delivering a bubble across the room and notice it pops on a dry surface, then dampen the catching tool before trying again.
  4. Deliver a bubble successfully to a customer and explain which tool worked best and why.
