Thinking Like a Scientist -Square Bubbles!

This term we are learning how to think like a scientist. We know that a scientist is very curious. Our first investigation started with the question, "Can we make bubbles that are square?". That got us thinking! Five of us predicted that we could, ten of us predicted that we couldn't and seven said they didn't know, with one not answering at all!

Mrs D. provided 12 short straws the same length, and pipe cleaners. We worked in groups of four. It was hard trying to make one shape out of all the materials because we wanted to make our own smaller shapes. In the end we tried out some of our shapes in a bucket of soapy water. None of them made a square bubble.

Our next job is to interview someone who has made a shape, that makes square bubbles and try their shape. We will report our findings in the next post.
