Bubbling Up

A search with Guinness Records in the terms will retrieve all sorts of things.  weareteachers.com has 11 Creative Ways to Use Guinness World Records' titles to teach math.  A search on creative teaching ideas for math includes many interesting approaches - like making a recipe for slime, using matchbox cars, using cheerios to practice multiplication, playing math bingo.  Guinness is appealing to the sense of wonder that children have.  

Whatever search terms I've been using lately has been retrieving bubble records. I took a look at this topic. I found a site dedicated to word bubble records - most people in a bubble, largest free-floating soap bubble, people simultaneously blowing bubbles, largest bubble wall, biggest bubble, and so on.

The master of bubbles is Fan Yang - Canadian bubble artist. He holds 16 world records in the field of bubbles.  He has done television and corporate performances all over the world, and produces a show, the Gazillion Bubble Showin New York City.   If you google 'fan yang bubble pictures' you will be astonished with what's been created.  There's a good article on him by the huffington post.


I don't have any bubble pictures yet - today's picture shows the wisteria blooming at the Pierce Dupont house in Longwood Gardens.
