Science Buddies Blowing the Best Bubbles | STEM Activity - Science Buddies

In a container of water, the tiny water molecules are attracted to each other, and consequently they are always pulling on each other. At the surface of the water these water molecules are attracted to the water molecules around and below them, but have no water molecules above them to be attracted to (since it is just air). This is what creates surface tension. The water molecules at the surface of the water do not want to move up, away from other water molecules, which makes water have a high surface tension. In fact, it is too high to form bubbles. This week in our STEAM Storytime series we were inspired by the book, The Bubble Factory written by Tomi DePaola
