Add soap to the water. Water has cohesion - the molecules hold together. We can break a water bubble apart and put it back together. The bubble stays together as we move it. Water magnifies objects.
Soap causes the water bubble to fall apart and spread out, also soaking through the wax paper.
Look at the water bubbles through hand lens. Draw and write about the activity. Observe work habits, engaged time on task, and student discoveries. Rating Scale - For art and writing products. Evaluation - Beginning and end of lesson oral reviews.
