National Bubble Week comes annually during the first week of spring and this year, it takes place from March 20 to 27. It comes as no surprise that bubbles are used to welcome each new spring during National Bubble Week, a holiday that has now been celebrated over 20 times. The fun iridescence of bubbles has become synonymous with spring, making them an apt symbol. The week is a great time to invite kids and adults alike to kick off the season by blowing bubbles in the great big outdoors! A holiday this joyful is always a welcome transition from the cold winter.
Let's meet at Picnic Shelter #4 in Mill Lake Park to have some bubble blowing fun on March 22, 2023 from 4:00 pm until 4:30 pm.
Here are some fun bubble facts:
A Bubble Gets Its Color From Iridescence: As waves of light pass through the bubble, it gets distorted by reflecting off different layers of soap film.
You Can Freeze Bubbles: A bubble’s shell is composed of a layer of water molecules surrounded by two thin layers of soap. Technically, a bubble will freeze below 32 degrees Fahrenheit like all water. The only problem is that bubbles tend to burst after a few seconds, so in order to see a bubble freeze, the temperature needs to fall to a temperature that will freeze water molecules more quickly.
Why Do Bubbles Burst?: Anything that fractures the tenuous layer of water molecules can cause a bubble to burst. For example, a gust of wind or an object (like your finger) will easily cause a bubble to burst. Also, a bubble will burst if enough of the water molecules evaporate.
Many Bubbles Makes A Foam: When many bubbles are joined together, it becomes a foam.
