Colours in Bubbles
- The colors of a bubble depend on the thickness of the film
- As the bubble film gets thinner, yellow and green are canceled out and then blue is cancelled out as the soap film gets thinner
- If the bubble is blue or green the soap film is thicker
- If the bubble is yellow the soap film is thinner
Fun Facts
- Bubbles will meet at the center, always at
an angle of 120 degrees
- In the vacuum of space, a bubble wouldn't be able to form due to the lack of exterior air pressure to counteract the pressure from within
- Pictures of bubbles are found in Western Europe as early as the 1500s
- The first global financial bubble in stock prices occurred 1720 in Paris, London and the Netherlands.
Sizes, Shapes, and Forms
- Tension in the bubble skin shrinks to the smallest possible shape for the volume of air it contains
- A sphere has the smallest surface area so therefore a bubble no matter what the shape of the bubble wand is a sphere

What is a bubble?
- A bubble is air trapped in soap film
- Inside the soap film there is a thin layer of water
- It's kind of like a bubble hamburger with soap molecule for bread and water molecule for meat
Introduction
Hello, Today I'm going to explain a
concept that nobody really thinks
about, bubbles. They're so fun and interesting but nobody really knows
why, how or what they are. And that's exactly what I'm about to explain.
