Science Shows
Children of all ages love our engaging daily shows where we share science concepts in an entertaining way for the whole family.
Take the Learning Home: Make Bubbles!
Bubbles are science in action! See one of the museum’s Science Shows, then put on your own science show at home with easy homemade bubbles. Here’s our favorite recipe!
- Pour 1 cup of water in a bucket or tub.
- Add 1 tablespoon of dish soap.
- Add 1 teaspoon of corn syrup.
- Stir and make bubbles!
The bubble juice gets better the next day!
Bubble wands: Pipe cleaners, straws, cookie cutters, clean fly swatter and coat hangers all make great do-it-yourself wands!
