Pop! A Book About Bubbles (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science, Stage 1) Paperback – Picture Book, September 4, 2001

This book is child’s guide to the science behind the creation of Bubbles. It is educational, entertaining, and simple. It teaches children that science is really relevant to our lives. It is not something just scientists go and study in the lab. Science is all around us. It is fun; it is not difficult, and it is for everyone.This book would appeal to early to middle elementary level children. Kids who cannot read it themselves, they would understand the concepts if the book was read to them by an adult or an older sibling. They would especially love to do the experiment of blowing bubbles through a straw in a liquid and see the difference between blowing bubbles in milk and blowing bubbles in water.Children can learn about surface tension (why bubbles are always round) without using the word surface tension. Children can understand it, experiment it, and enjoy it. The images support the lesson, and show diversity of ways you can make bubbles and that any child can make them. In addition, diverse example of children in the book reinforces that anyone, no matter what their gender and ethnicity, can learn science.The explicit message of this book is how you make a bubble, but the implicit message is that learning science is fun and easy; it is for everyone; and it is important because it explains the world around us.

I used this book for a STEAM lesson with bubbles. The kids loved this book and it was filled with great science information about bubbles. It was appropriate for the younger kids as well as older ones. It was very well written for teaching.

Wonderfully fun book which uses bubbles to teach science. Beautifully illustrated.

I ordered this book to use in my kindergarten classroom. We were doing an experiment to see if free floating bubbles are always round. I read this book after completing the experiment and the book did a great job explaining why. I did explain so parts but overall the students were able to understand why bubbles are always round.

I bought this book as a jumping-off point for our bubble day in my first-grade classroom! It is on their level but has some really fun details and facts! They loved it!

Cute book.

We love the "Let's Read and Find Out" Science series. They are perfect for preK-2 grade on any subject. My five year old and I read this book and then used the recipe included to make our own bubbles. The recipe worked great.

This is a terrific book about... bubbles! Take your child(ren), this book and a bottle of bubbles outside on a nice day, read and discuss the book... blow bubbles... and you'll have a delightful, hands-on science lesson for your young children. Learning + Fun = Great Family Memories :)
