Bubbleology
Bubbleology: a scientific approach to the physics and chemistry of bubbles. Science, but fun science! Can you imagine the concept of anti-bubbles? Can there be square bubbles? How does a NASA scientist use bubbles in space exploration? Did they use bubbles on the Mars Mission? We will learn air bubbles importance to art by visiting artists at a glass blowing studio; we will visit the University of Minnesota Cavitation Research lab to learn about their work with the Navy, and submarine propellors and the destructive power of air bubbles on bridges and dams.
Visiting scientists will guide us through bubble experiments, and testing various bubble formulas. We will learn about the importance of bubbles to scuba diving and heart transplant surgery. Come and study bubbles with us! We will learn about the physics and chemistry of bubbles and much more!
