HOW TO MAKE A

BOUNCING
BUBBLES
MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT

3 CUPS OF WATER 1 CUP OF LIQUID SOAP ½ CUP OF GLYCERIN

1 BOWL 1 PIPETTE A PAIR OF 1 SCISSOR

WOOLEN GLOVE
PROCEDURE
Add the ingredients in the right order. The
order you add your ingredients to a
mixing bowl matters in this project.
1. Add the water first.
2. Then, add the dish soap.
3. Finally add the glycerin last

You can make your own bubble wand by

cutting off the end of the bulb of a plastic
pipette.
RESULT
You should be able to gently
shake one or more bubbles
off the pipette and bounce
them on the cotton
glove. Place your lips on
the opposite end of the
wand. Blow gently into the
wand.
CONCLUSION Bubbles are made of two basic things: a
'skin' that is mostly composed of a thin
film of water, and some air. Adding soap
and glycerin to water helps make
stronger bubbles, because soap and
glycerin molecules can squeeze in
between water molecules and help the
film of water stretch out without
breaking. Soap and glycerin make -
bubbles very strong, which makes them
able to withstand the gentle pressure of
bouncing on a glove. The clean, soft
texture of the glove keeps it from
popping the bubbles right away. The
gloves make it possible to bounce
bubbles because the bubble doesn’t
come in contact with the oil on our
hands which breaks surface tension.
RECOMENDATION
• If you blow bubbles and they don't seem strong
enough, you can add more glycerin.
• If you are having trouble getting big bubbles, you
might want to use distilled water rather than tap
water.
• If you used "Ultra" dish soap, double the amount
of glycerin
