Summary
Bubbles are not only fun and fascinating--in this deservedly famous GEMS guide they light the way to student understanding of important scientific concepts. From light and color to aerodynamics, technology, and surface tension, Bubble-ology is bursting with chemistry and physics. As physicist Lord Kelvin said, "Blow a soap bubble and observe it. You may study it all your life and draw one lesson after another in physics from it." Bubble-ology is one of more than 70 teacher's guides and handbooks from the Great Explorations in Math and Science (GEMS) program. GEMS guides are tested in classrooms nationwide and come with step-by-step instructions, suggested assessments, literature connections, scientific background, and ideas for further investigation. GEMS units support leading science and mathematics standards for educational excellence. GEMS guides are developed at the Lawrence Hall of Science, the public science education center at the University of California at Berkeley. Book jacket.
