Shapes

Okay now the first thing we need to know is what shape a bubble is.

Who knows what shape a bubble is?
Scream it out!

(A Circle)
Oh my goodness we got circle! You’re so smart!

Except for one Homeschool Kid who said Sphere, well done!

Now, I have my handy dandy circle bubble blower to see if we can prove it.
Now, we can’t just know a bubble is a circle we have to prove it so say Dee Dee Prove IT!
Fine I will! 
Now who thinks it’s going to be a circle?
Who thinks it’s going to be something else?
Who thinks an Elephant?

Who thinks it’s still going to be a circle?
Who thinks Elephant?

But maybe I cheated because a heart is kind of like a circle
So!

If a circle shaped bubble blower blows a circle bubble and a heart shaped bubble blower blows a circle bubble what shape will a star blow?

Ooh we are very smart!

And here they are!
It’s still a circle you guys!
Give yourselves a round of applause you’re geniuses!

Air Gun

Do you know why bubbles are always a circle?

Because inside the bubble there’s air and the air is trying to get out! 
In all the directions at the same time and if I push in all the directions at the same time I make a?
That’s right!
Do you guys believe me that there is air inside a bubble? 
You shouldn’t just believe it say Dee Dee prove it!
