Bubble-ology: Infants



Bubble-ology can be a fun science activity for people of all ages. We provide these generalizations as guidelines about what children at different ages might do during Bubble explorations at the Discovery Center’s Experiment Station, in the kitchen at home, or at school. Listed below are science and technology process skills that children may be practicing during their explorations. Please remember: each child develops at a different rate, so some children in each age group may be able to do some of the things described in the age group before or after their own.

How might infants explore Bubble-ology?

Observe - Infants

Adults should closely monitor infants during this activity to ensure they keep the bubble solution out of their eyes and mouth.

Infants enjoy watching bubbles as they float and move through the air. They may also like popping bubbles that their grownup makes for them.

Older infants can track the path of a bubble with their eyes, and can point to the location of a bubble in the air.
