Description
This study investigates the deflation dynamics of soap bubbles attached to cylindrical straws, combining theoretical modelling with laboratory experiments. A mathematical model is developed to describe the evolution of the bubble’s radius, incorporating surface tension and viscosity. The experimental setup validates the model, highlighting the importance of precise measurements, statistical analysis, and the iterative nature of scientific inquiry. The study also emphasizes the didactical value of engaging students with hands-on experimentation, fostering both theoretical understanding and practical skills.
