Real Life Science Experiment

Get Poppin' With Bubbles!


For this real life science project, my partner Cassie and I choose to create a human bubble. Below are some pictures with text and a link as well so you can share the experience with us!



Click on the link below to view information about our experiment:



Materials Needed:


Small pool


Hula Hoop


Dish washing liquid


Glycerine


Water



After filling the pool with water, dish washing liquid was added to help make the bubbles.



Glycerine was then added to the mixture.



Here was our first atempt to cover a human with a bubble. As you can see the hula hoop is too small and the bubble is closing in on me, as we pull the hula hoop up.

We then had to upgrade to a bigger hula hoop and a bigger pool so that the experiment would work correctly.

Look! There is a human covered in a bubble.

  5. Great work! I'm glad you finally got to work with your bubbles. I also really liked how you noted that it was important to let the solution sit for several hours to put a human in a bubble. Kids will love this!
