Howell Road Elementary School students were treated to an exciting and educational performance when “Bubbledad,” aka the performer and educator Chris Catanese, visited the school for a bubbly-filled adventure.
Under the Bubbledad moniker, Catanese creates shows that are colorful blends of magic, science, and interactive fun. He creates an enchanting “bubblescape” with bubbles of all shapes and sizes. Known for his engaging, hands-on approach, Bubbledad encourages kids to get involved, experiment, and explore the wonders of bubbles on their own.
Throughout the show, students were introduced to the fascinating science behind bubble formation and the basic geometry of bubbles—such as the difference between 2D and 3D shapes, and the relationship between circles and spheres. Bubbledad made the complex science behind bubbles easy to understand through creative, bubbly magic tricks while keeping the energy high and the laughs coming.
One of the highlights of the performance was when Bubbledad invited a few lucky students to step inside a giant bubble, an unforgettable moment that brought cheers from the audience. The experience didn’t just stop with a show; Bubbledad also encouraged students to experiment with bubble-making techniques, providing them with the tools to create their bubble masterpieces.
Bubbledad’s performance at Howell Road Elementary was a huge success, leaving students with a sense of wonder and a new appreciation for the magic of science.
