Paper Boats Update

For a quick update on the floating paper boats, the yellow legal pad boats lasted for five days before they got soggy and sunk. The gum wrapper boat was still going strong. I tried to find out if there was anything special about yellow legal pad paper, but other than the yellow dye that is added, I wasn’t able to come up with much. Do you have any ideas?

Wild Bubbles!

While I was looking for more information on bubble science and how to color bubbles, I just found this cool video.

Do you know how the bubble artist, Keith Johnson, got the “colored” bubbles? According to his website, he uses a “fog” machine that fills the bubbles with fog.

Edit: Keith Johnson’s website was on MobileMe, which has been discontinued. Hopefully he will put up a new one soon.
