A suggestion was put on the table! Why not turn the swimming
pool into a giant bubble mountain! We then got the container of soap and the
children started pouring it into the pool. Once satisfied with the amount of
bubbles, the children began to first get into the pool and slide on the soap
with their feet in hopes of making the water bubbly.
Suddenly, some children spotted a few noodles! Ooooh, the
noodles are like giant straws! They took the noodles and started blowing into
it to try to create the same effect used with the cups! Slowly, but very
slowly, bubbles began to sprout. However, they were not sprouting out to the
same extent as the straws in the cups.
The children then suggested that we change the soap to be
dish soap! After finding some dish soap, we poured it into the pool! WOW! Now,
when the children blew through the noodles, bubbles came! Then, some children
who did not have noodles saw some pipes and tubes lying around! They quickly picked
them up and started blowing in the pool to create a team work of bubble
mountain! Some children who still had no utensils to blow into, grabbed some of
the straws used for the cups and crouched down near the side of the pool and
blew!
It was incredible to see how one small idea led to an entire
class wide activity! The children did not want to leave--- they were having too much fun!
Eli G thought that if the straws worked in the cups then they DEFINITELY could work in a pool!
