You will need:
● Pipe cleaners What to do

● A bubble solution 1. Bend your pipe cleaners to form different shapes.
● A container 2. Dip the wand into the bubble solution.
3. Remove the wand and blow through it.

What happens?
The bubbles come out round no matter what shape the wand is!

Why?
Blowing air through the soap and water bubble solution makes a thin bubble skin. The bubble skin doesn’t like to
stretch. It stretches less if it takes up a round shape. If it takes up any other shape, it will have to stretch more to hold
the same amount of air. Bubbles are lazy—they don’t like stretching!
I wonder what would happen if we made our bubble wands in 3D? Try it out and share your results with us!
