Yesterday at work
30 August 2013 21:36Yesterday afternoon, while the kids were working on a project, I sat behind my desk making a cube. On YouTube I had found these wonderful, short, science movies and decided to try them out in class. They love it. Anyway…I was just creating this cube and the kids who noticed asked me what I was doing. I didn't tell them much, but asked them to help me anyway. I let them explore, told them a bit about what I wanted to try and for the entire afternoon kids, off and on, were trying to get this to work:
You need a cube, preferably self-made. You also need water and soap, and a straw or something else to blow bubble with.
Fill a large bowl or whatever with water and add soap to it. Stir. Then gently place the cube into the water.
Gently pull the cube up.
Shake it a bit so the form inside the cube takes shape.
Gently blow a bubble inside the cube bubble.
Voila, a square bubble!
It was fun to do, got everyone excited and curious and a lot of kids asked me how to do it at home. What's more perfect than kids asking for homework because they enjoyed it so much?
