Some Science - Big Bubbles

We did some cooking and other things also, but no pictures of those. So, you get to see our Big Bubbles!

The kids all helped put the ingredients in.  #3 Boy was the main mixer

#5 Boy with his large bubble...he told me, "I don't need help I can do it on my own!"  Yes, he can!

The recipe below is the one we used from this website: http://happyhooligans.ca/homemade-giant-bubbles/

• 6 cups water (distilled is best but tap water is fine)
• 1/2 cup blue Dawn dish detergent
• 1/2 cup corn starch
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1 tbsp Glycerine

To make your bubble mixture:

Dissolve the cornstarch in the water, stirring really well.  Then gently stir in the remaining ingredients.  Avoid creating a lot of froth.  Allow your mixture to sit for at least an hour, stirring occasionally if you see the cornstarch settling to the bottom.
