TES Pre-K News - Today, the Timpson Elementary School Pre-K class made a solution of water and liquid detergent. We then put some on the tables and had some in bowls at each table. Each student had a straw. With the straws, the students made bubbles on the tables. The students compared the bubbles to each other and made several bubbles in their area to see which one was the biggest. Students started noticing that when the bubbles popped, you could still see the imprint of the bubbles on their table. They had a lot of fun.
