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?
3 kids fantastic!

Okay here we go

Let’s find out who’s right

Everyone remembers what they guessed?
Good, okay

Okay

Okay

This is my favorite part

(blows too fast)

Oh I gotta do it slowly?

Oh I gotta…

(blows big and dramatic)
No?
Is this you?

Okay I know,
We’ll do it this way, we’ll do it with a big wave!
Woah!
Who was right? 
You guys are so smart!
But maybe I cheated because I used a circle bubble blower. 
So!

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

Who thinks it’s going to blow a heart?
Who thinks it’s still going to be a circle?
Who thinks Elephant? 
10 more kids

You guys are… This is working great, so much learning!

Okay lets try this out

I have my heart bubble blower, I’m going to dip it into the bubble solution

Now remember what everyone guessed? Everyone remembers?
Here we go

Okay

What?
What?
Oh wave? 
Like this?
Oh! 
We didn’t get it!
Is it you?
We have to do it gently?
Oh!
Okay

Show me now

You guys show me with your hands!
Like this?
Who was right? 
You guys are geniuses it’s still a circle
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!
Who thinks it’s going to a circle? 
Who thinks it’s going to be a star?
Huh

Bubbles are scared to come out
You guys are being super loud which is great!
But we need to make sure that the bubbles have the confidence so everybody together is going to say

Bubble Bubble

Come out and Play

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!
Fine I will! 
I’m going to need a helper to prove it

I’m going to need someone who puts their hands on their head

Their hands on their tummy

Their hands on their knees

Their hands on their toes

Their hands on their nose!

Their finger in their nose!
Don’t put your fingers in your nose

Who is really good?
What’s your name sweetie?

Alex? Alex would you like to help me out?

Can we give Alex a big round of applause?

Excellent
