Greene County and Paton-Churdan elementary students learned about science through bubble-making Monday.

The Greene County Libraries Association and the Greene County Board of Supervisors co-sponsored the “Big, Bang Bubbles” program with Absolute Science. Presenter Rick Brammer, also known as“Professor Toto,” taught the kids the elements that are needed to make bubbles and what causes bubbles to pop. Being a performer for over 30 years, “Professor Toto” told Raccoon Valley Radio he’s only been doing the bubbles program for nine months. He explained why he wanted to get into making bubbles.

“Everybody loves bubbles. I do bubble stations besides bubble shows with the Big Bang Bubbles. And when we do bubble stations, we have just as many adults doing bubbles. So I might be almost 53-years-old, but when I’m doing bubbles, I’m five.”  

Jefferson Children’s Librarian Terry Clark talked about why they continue to bring community programs like this to kids in the schools.

“We could have the children come to the library for programs, but because of space, it’s a little hard to reach out to a lot of children. By taking it to the school we’re able to reach children that normally wouldn’t get to come to the library or normally wouldn’t see this type of program. And we love bringing these presenters to the kids.”       

The program was held at both P-C Elementary and Greene County Elementary.
