How to Make Bubbles with Different Shapes – Scientific Adventures Outdoors

One hot summer day, Petya and Lena were sitting outside, thinking about what they could do. Suddenly, Lena noticed a small soap bubble flying toward them from the neighbor’s garden, sparkling in the sunlight. She walked over to Petya and said:

— Let’s make bubbles, but not just any bubbles! Let’s make ones with different shapes and sizes! That could be really interesting!

Petya wondered, “How can we make such unusual bubbles?” Lena smiled and replied:

— We just need a bit of soap, water, and sugar. I read somewhere that sugar helps bubbles get bigger and stronger. Come on, I’ll get everything we need!

And just a few minutes later, the kids were standing by a bowl of water. Lena poured in some soap, and Petya added the sugar.

— Now we need to stir it well, — said Petya, taking a spoon. — If we do everything right, the bubbles won’t just be beautiful, they’ll also be unusually big!

Once the mixture was ready, Petya took a straw and dipped it into the soap solution. Lena brought her jar of colored paints to add more magic to their bubbles. She carefully sucked some of the soap mixture into the straw and blew, directing the airflow.

— Look at that huge bubble! — Lena exclaimed happily, watching as the bubble grew and shimmered in all the colors of the rainbow.

Petya also tried to make a bubble, but his was quite different from Lena’s. It was smaller, but still beautiful and very bright.

— I wonder why they come out in different sizes? — Petya wondered aloud. — Maybe it depends on how much air you blow in, the bubbles get bigger or smaller.

— Let’s try to make a few bubbles with one breath! — suggested Lena. They both blew into one straw at the same time, and suddenly several bubbles appeared at once!

— Wow! They’re so small and fast! — Lena exclaimed. — We need to try to make even stranger bubbles, like in my book. Did you see, there were bubbles in the shape of stars and hearts!

Petya thought for a moment. He grabbed a stick and tried to make a bubble in an unusual shape. At first, he wasn’t successful, but then he realized that if he twisted the stick a little, he could create a bubble with a quirky curve. Lena also started experimenting and soon made a heart-shaped bubble!

— Look, I did it! Puff, a heart! — Lena shouted joyfully, and her bubble sparkled in the bright summer sun with colorful glints.

Inspired by Lena’s success, Petya continued his experiments. He added a little more sugar to the mixture and tried to make a bubble that wouldn’t pop right away but would gently roll across the ground. It was pretty tricky, but he managed to do it!

— Now we know how to make all kinds of bubbles, — said Petya, smiling with happiness. — But can we make a bubble that doesn’t pop for a long time?

— Of course! The key is to get the proportions of the mixture just right and blow in a way that makes the bubble even and stable. It depends on how much sugar and soap we add, — Lena answered. — Sugar not only makes them bigger, but it also helps them hold their shape.

And finally, the last bubbles were made, and the air was filled with magic. The kids jumped around, catching them with their hands and watching in awe as they gently floated into the air.

— That was so much fun! — Lena said. — We didn’t just make soap bubbles, we made a whole set of colorful bubbles, and even learned how to make them in different shapes! We’ll definitely do this again and again.
