Touch, Collide, and Disappear/Explode

I am new to gamesalad, but love what I am capable of...my question revolves around creating a game that has circles that will appear on screen randomly...like 25 on the first screen, and then continue to grow as the level advances.
I am trying to figure out how (several things)....first how to designate a set number of circles (based on level) to randomly appear on the screen, and when the user taps/touches the circle, it will pop/explode. The circles need to also be able to collide into each other, thus continuing its motion on the screen.
Is there a way to also set up special circles (actor) to have other "powers", for example to explode other circles when touched - for example, the user will touch one circle (that has a special graphic) and explode 3-5 other circles around it?
I have been searching the youtube channels trying to find out how to do these items, but am not familiar with all of the behaviors, etc.
I am also a high school teacher who is desperately wanting to incorporate gamesalad into the curriculum for our school. All help is appreciated!!!
Lastly, is there any talk of a conference or the like?

By the way I love your stuff too.
A couple more things...what about adding points to the circles/bubbles at 1 point each, and random points (25, 50, 100) for special circles/bubbles? Secondly to have a timer that counts down backwards from 15 secs or 25 secs. And a question about this....do you have ot have different game boards for different levels? For example, if level 1 has a 25 second timer, and level two has 20 second timer, do they need different boards, etcetera? Thirdly, for just random bubbles/circles, ones that you may want to come in after the game starts, but before the timer ends, obviously.....
Sorry for all the questions, but I am just really having a tough time with this...
I wish I knew this stuff like you - quite amazing your knowledge...
Oh, and the previous help you gave, will that allow the bubbles to bump and collide together and just bounce off each other?
Thanks Again,
