Bubbles

This week we are approaching the end of the school year so I wanted to do something fun for the students. Therefore, I decided on doing DIY giant bubbles as the lesson using a few supplies; dish soap, baby shampoo, socks, cups, string, straws. Each student tested a different technique, the students prepared the solution of dish soap, shampoo and water in a communal bucket. The different methods had all different results. The cup and straw created small tight bubbles, whereas the string in the straws mimicked a giant bubble wand resulting in a giant bubble and lastly the sock and water bottle created bubble snakes; tight medium sized bubbles that got longer as you blew. The students were excited and satisfied with the results of this lesson.
