sticky stuff called pollen
clings to their bodies.

226
00:10:42,125 --> 00:10:46,750
Then, when they visit other flowers,
they leave some pollen behind,

227
00:10:46,833 --> 00:10:50,250
which helps those flowers make new seeds.

-[whistle blows]
-[crowd cheers]

293
00:14:03,833 --> 00:14:08,000
[JJ] Any avid bubble blower knows
water can't make bubbles on its own.

294
00:14:08,083 --> 00:14:11,625
The most important ingredient is,
in fact, the soap.

295
00:14:11,708 --> 00:14:14,166
Wait. What's so special about the soap?

296
00:14:14,250 --> 00:14:18,083
Great question. Let's have a look
at our high-definition soap cam.

297
00:14:18,666 --> 00:14:20,791
Right here, we have water molecules,

298
00:14:20,875 --> 00:14:24,125
which are made of hydrogen
and oxygen atoms.

299
00:14:24,208 --> 00:14:25,708
[Bang] Whoa, what's that?

300
00:14:25,791 --> 00:14:28,333
Oh, this is a soap molecule.

301
00:14:28,416 --> 00:14:32,791
One end of each molecule
is attracted to water and attaches to it.

302
00:14:32,875 --> 00:14:36,708
The other end repels water
and wants to get away from it.

303
00:14:36,791 --> 00:14:40,083
-[chuckles] That's soap for you.
-It sure is, Liz.

304
00:14:40,166 --> 00:14:44,833
But, like, how exactly do molecules help
a bubble form?

305
00:14:44,916 --> 00:14:48,625
Well, let's look at Sammy's wand technique
and show you.

306
00:14:48,708 --> 00:14:52,166
Sammy displaying
a beautiful dip of the wand here.

307
00:14:52,250 --> 00:14:55,833
[JJ] Let's kick on over
to our ultra zooming microscope cam

308
00:14:55,916 --> 00:14:57,291
to see what's going on.

309
00:14:57,875 --> 00:15:01,458
[Bang] Whoa, that looks cool.
But what am I looking at?

310
00:15:01,541 --> 00:15:04,625
[Liz] Well, those are soap
and water molecules, Bang.

311
00:15:04,708 --> 00:15:09,000
We have a thin layer of water
filling the open space of the wand.

312
00:15:09,083 --> 00:15:12,875
Those soap molecules
attach to the water on both sides,

313
00:15:12,958 --> 00:15:15,750
surrounding and protecting
the water layer.

314
00:15:15,833 --> 00:15:18,875
[Bang] Oh, like a soap and water sandwich.

315
00:15:18,958 --> 00:15:20,916
[JJ] Yeah, you could look at it like that.

316
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,125
Okay, but, like,
how does the bubble part work then?

317
00:15:25,208 --> 00:15:29,000
Well, let's look at our state-of-the-art
bubble inflation cam.

318
00:15:29,083 --> 00:15:33,125
Now that the water's protected,
all you gotta do is blow into the wand,

319
00:15:33,208 --> 00:15:38,000
and the soapy water will stretch
over a bigger and bigger puff of air.

320
00:15:38,083 --> 00:15:39,000
[Bang] Oh.

321
00:15:39,083 --> 00:15:42,833
Speaking of which,
Sammy's about to blow her bubble.

322
00:15:42,916 --> 00:15:46,791
[Liz] Does she have what it takes
to bring home the gold?

330
00:16:03,875 --> 00:16:06,291
[Liz] Watch out, sports fans.

331
00:16:06,375 --> 00:16:10,000

-Uh, hello, Mr. Bubblini? Can you hear me?

365
00:17:57,916 --> 00:18:00,708
Oh, Bang, you're back. Thank goodness.

366
00:18:00,791 --> 00:18:03,708
Okay, did you find out how bubbles work?

367
00:18:03,791 --> 00:18:05,166
I sure did.

368
00:18:06,125 --> 00:18:07,416
That's good.

369
00:18:07,500 --> 00:18:09,833
I mean, a little more specificity
might be helpful,

370
00:18:09,916 --> 00:18:12,625
given I was supposed to be
on stage ten minutes ago

371
00:18:12,708 --> 00:18:14,750
and these kids are getting restless!

372
00:18:14,833 --> 00:18:16,958
Well, don't panic, Mr. Bubble dude.

373
00:18:17,041 --> 00:18:20,083
You know that mixture
that you pour into your bubble machine?

374
00:18:20,166 --> 00:18:21,458
Yes, the ma…

00:18:22,125 --> 00:18:24,291
[whispers] The magic bubble potion.

376
00:18:24,875 --> 00:18:29,541
That's not a magic bubble potion, dude.
It's just soap and water.

377
00:18:30,416 --> 00:18:33,166
Soap and water? That's it?

378
00:18:33,750 --> 00:18:37,375
Sure is. The soap is what holds
the bubble together.

379
00:18:38,291 --> 00:18:41,000
[laughs]

380
00:18:41,500 --> 00:18:44,083
Bang! That's ridiculous.

381
00:18:44,166 --> 00:18:47,458
How could soap hold a bubble together?

382
00:18:47,541 --> 00:18:51,333
Well, soap is made up of
these things called molecules.

383
00:18:51,833 --> 00:18:55,083
One end of the soap molecule
attaches itself to water,

384
00:18:55,166 --> 00:18:57,291
and the other end pulls away.

385
00:18:57,375 --> 00:19:00,333
That creates a protective layer
around the water

386
00:19:00,416 --> 00:19:03,208
that lets it stretch
into the shape of a bubble.

387
00:19:04,208 --> 00:19:05,250
Whoa.

388
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,333
Now you're blowing my mind, Bang.

No time for blown minds now.
You got a lot of fans waiting.

You're right.

391
00:19:14,666 --> 00:19:18,083
And now that I've unlocked
the secret of bubbles,

392
00:19:18,583 --> 00:19:23,750
I'm gonna give those kids the most
bubble-tastic show they've ever seen!
