Description

Blow these incredible bubbles, wait 10 seconds, reach out and catch them on your fingers! They don't pop! Blow No-Pop Bubbles outside and watch how they glimmer on the grass of your school field. These bubbles must be seen to be believed. In a dry environment, No-Pop Bubbles will last for weeks!

No Pop Bubbles
Review star icon Review star icon Review star icon Review star icon Review star icon May 30, 2019
I find there are a number of good and not so good points about using the no pop bubbles as part of my outreach program. GOOD The kids love to make these bubbles because many bubbles are made with each fill of the solution on the wand and they float around for a longer time than regular bubbles. And, of course, they stay together when they catch them in their hands or land on the table or floor - No Pop! They will float on a layer of carbon dioxide generated from dry ice set in a tub. The bubbles slowly sink as they get larger due to osmotic pressure (higher CO2 outside than inside so CO2 enters the bubble making it swell and denser). Often, they will go to the bottom and rest on or near the dry ice without popping. Fun to watch. NOT SO GOOD You need to hold the tube vertical in order to not have solution spill out of the tube. You may want to empty part of the solution into a container that can be tightly sealed. Use to refill tubes as needed. When bubbles pop it leaves spot of PVA, which needs to be cleaned up. If not too windy, this may be a better activity to perform outdoors. Young kids don't like to wait and watch the bubbles; they prefer to pop them leaving PVA on their hands; so be sure to have them wash afterwards. Definitely have the kids wear goggles/safety glasses while blowing and watching the bubbles. Solution tends to dry up; be sure caps are on tight. As an outreach presentation, I would only recommend this activity with small groups to keep control and allow the presenters to talk about how and why the bubbles do as they do. I have not tried the UV No-Pop bubbles yet but I think it would be an fun addition for small groups.

My students love playing with these things. These like to see how many they can catch on a finger tip

Not worth the money

Owner Response: Teresa, I'm not sure what could have gone on with your bubbles, but we rarely have any issues at all with these. We'll send you out another tube, and I'm confident that you will be pleased with the results!

My students love these. Even though they are in high school, who doesn't love bubbles?! Especially ones you can catch on your hands? If it's not very humid they last for days!

AWESOME!

These are great! But they will stick to a car's paint, your glass windows, etc... so blow them wisely. A HUGE hit where ever we go. This is how we keep kids of all ages busy at outdoor concerts - they love to catch them and pile them up on a finger.

NGSS

This product will support your students' understanding of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)*, as shown in the table below.

Elementary Middle School High School

2-PS1-2

Students can analyze data obtained from testing different materials to determine which materials have the properties that are best suited for an intended purpose.

3-PS2-3

Students can use the No-Pop Bubbles in an investigation to ask questions to determine cause and effect relationships of electric interactions between two objects not in contact with each other.

5-PS1-3

Students can use the No-Pop Bubbles to make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties.

MS-PS1-2

Students can analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after the substances interact to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred.

MS-PS2-5

Students can use the No-Pop Bubbles to conduct an investigation and evaluate the experimental design to provide evidence that fields exist between objects exerting forces on each other even though the objects are not in contact.

MS-ESS2-5

Students can use the No-Pop bubbles in an investigation to collect data to provide evidence for how the motions and complex interactions of air masses.

HS-PS2-6

Students will observe and communicate scientific information about why the molecular-level structure is important in the functioning of a material.

HS-PS3-5

The No-Pop Bubbles can be used to develop and model how two objects interacting through magnetic fields, illustrates the forces between objects and the changes in energy of the objects due to the interaction.

Suggested Science Idea(s)

2-PS1-2

Students can conduct simple tests using the No-Pop Bubbles and regular bubbles to understand polymers. Information gathered can be used as evidence to support or refute student ideas about evidence of chemical reactions.

3-PS2-3

Use the No-Pop Bubbles in an investigation between the hardened bubbles and an electrically charged balloon or rod to observe movements of those bubbles without initial contact of those objects.

MS-PS1-2

Students can analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after the substances interact to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred. Using regular bubbles and the No-Pop bubbles allow students to compare and contrast in their investigation.

MS-PS2-5

The No-Pop Bubbles is a wonderful tool to show the interaction of statically charged objects, without contact of those objects.

MS-ESS2-5

Students can use the No-Pop bubbles to discover various air currents on campus. Since the bubbles will not pop like ordinary bubbles, students can collect data for a longer period of time. Experiment around the campus to see how buildings, warm black top surfaces or topography affect the bubble flight to provide evidence for how the motions and complex interactions of air masses.

HS-PS2-6

Students will observe and communicate scientific information about why the substance is able harden and not pop like ordinary bubbles. Further study of the structure of polymers will help students to understand that the molecular-level structure is important in the functioning of a material.
