🫧 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:

  • The Secret Gas: Meet Carbon Dioxide (CO2), the invisible ingredient that gives soda its sparkle.

  • Nucleation Sites: Learn about the tiny "starting lines" where bubbles are born.

  • Bubble Glue: Why do some drinks have thick, fluffy foam while others just fizz and pop?
