Today we finished discussing how the energy of particles is related to the state matter is in. Gases have the highest energy and solids have the lowest. Then we went back to discussing the bubble question from the other day. The correct answer to the question is.......LIQUID AND GAS! To make a bubble you have to blow (gas) into a liquid. So there is a liquid layer surrounding the gas. This led us into a great discussion about surface tension as we made GIANT bubbles in the classroom. I wish I had pictures but it is virtually impossible to snap a shot when you are the bubble maker! Check out the notes below if you missed them in class! Also check out the recipes for making giant bubbles at home! Something cool to do over fall break!
