Project-Based Learning Bubbles Up
Who would have thought that learners can enjoy blowing bubbles and learn at the same time?
In addition to talking to the facilitator, I then spoke to one of her 3rd-grade learners, Isabella “Bella” Salamey, who described what she is learning about bubbles.

“Bubble Bonanza”
This week, we planned how to make bubble wands and decided on materials to use: pipe cleaner, wire, twist ties, straws, tubes, and cups. We will also make giant bubbles out of hula hoops and 3D bubble wands so we can put bubbles inside bubbles.
Next, we will design a bubble solution to make perfect long-lasting bubbles and decide what activities we can do for our bubble show. So far, we have decided to do bubble art, bouncing bubbles, giant bubbles, kids inside bubbles, and much more.
We learned a lot about bubbles, but most importantly, we are perfecting our designs just like an engineer; a person who solves problems.
