Science: Bubble Science

 Technology today was fun because we were making bubbles.

Firstly we watched a video about how to make bubbles, the bubbles are made from water and soap. The water and soap are layered soap then water and another layer of soap, also the soap can have different colours if it reflects from the sun. if you use different shapes of wands it will still be shaped as a sphere because the air inside the bubble keeps its shape but there was no water inside the bubble will flop.

After watching the video we made our own equipment and liquid. Firstly we used the beaker and filled up half which was 125ml with water. Next we used a spatula which looks like a spoon and had to weigh 5 grams of sugar and tip it into the water. After we've tipped the sugar into the beaker we stir the sugar until it dissolves. After the sugar dissolves we went to another and used detergent and glycerol to make our bubble liquid. Firstly we used a syringe to suck up 10 ml of detergent and 3 ml of glycerol.

Mrs Sharma gave us three straws two small and 1 big straw also she gave use a wire type thing to us. We used the wire type thing you shape it into a circle wand and dip it into the liquid and blew bubble. The first task we done was very difficult for some of us because we had to make a caterpillar. The caterpillar was hard because the bubbles kept on popping. Also the different types of bubble no one could create was the cube bubble and the carousel. Only one of the student could make the cube bubble.

Today at technology was very fun and interesting because blowing the bubbles were fun to make but difficult at the same time.

    What an interesting post to read. I have read posts from other classmates in your class and you are the first to explain why a bubble is round/sphere which is cool. When you said one student blew a cube bubble, did it last long? I will be back to read more and keep up the good work. Nga Mihi
