Lesson 6

Live Soap Bubbles

Est. Class Sessions: 2–3

Summarizing the Lesson

Gather the sentence strips with the true statements about the live soap bubble data.

As each is displayed, ask:

Do you agree with this statement?
What information supports this statement?

After you have reviewed each of the statements, ask students to discuss what they think might happen to the life span data under different conditions.

Let's imagine it was windy in the room. What might happen to the life span data? (More of the bubbles will die at a younger age.)
Let's imagine the bubble solution was extra strong. What might happen to the life span data? (The bubbles will live longer.)
