Talking Points
- What are bubbles? "Bubbles are like tiny balloons made of soap and air."
- How are bubbles made? "When we dip the wand in the bubble solution and blow gently, a bubble forms."
- Why do bubbles pop? "Bubbles pop when they touch something dry because the water on the surface of the bubble evaporates."
