About this Event
Ever wonder how something as delicate as a bubble can unlock the secrets of biology? In this hands-on bubble lab, we’ll use soap bubbles to explore the amazing world of cell membranes! Watch bubbles stretch, seal, and form mini spheres as we dive into the science of membrane fluidity, selective permeability, self-healing, and vesicle formation.
Participants will:
- Describe the cell membrane as a flexible, semi-permeable barrier made of phospholipids;
- Discover how membranes stay fluid and heal themselves just like bubbles;
- Explore how cells control what gets in and out; and
- Create and pop vesicles to model cellular transport.
Ages 10-13, no adult chaperone required.
