🫧 Join Dr. Owl, Emma, and a very sticky Ziggy as they dive into the explosive science of bubbles! After Ziggy’s "scientific" shaking experiment turns the recording studio into a grape soda volcano, the team investigates the mystery behind the fizz.
In this episode, Junior Scientists will discover:
<ul>
<li>
The Secret Gas: Meet Carbon Dioxide (CO2), the invisible ingredient that gives soda its sparkle.
</li>
<li>
Nucleation Sites: Learn about the tiny "starting lines" where bubbles are born.
</li>
<li>
Bubble Glue: Why do some drinks have thick, fluffy foam while others just fizz and pop?
