If you’re fascinated by the simple complexity of the standard soap bubble, then this is the lab for you. You can easily transform these ideas into a block-party Bubble Festival, or just have extra fun in the nightly bathtub. Either way, your kids will not only learn about the science of water, molecules, and surface tension, they’ll also leave this lab cleaner than they started (which is highly unusually for science experiments!)
Soap also makes water stretchy. If you’ve ever tried making bubbles with your mouth just using spit, you know that you can’t get the larger, fist-sized spit bubbles to form completely and detach to float away in the air. Spit is 94% water, and water by itself has too much surface tension, too many forces holding the molecules together. When you add soap to it, they relax a bit and stretch out. Soap makes water stretch and form into a bubble.

I LOVE Trumpet Bubbles!!!!!!!
Okay!
Are you asking what kind of soap you can use and if it matters? Dish soap works great, like dawn or palmolive. Something thick and concentrated will work fine.
What cines of soaps can you use? Duse it matter?
Yes – it works fine!
Can you use blue dawn?
This is one of the very few experiments that doesn’t have an instructional video (the bubbles did not show up well on video when we tried!)
And also where are the videos.

I apologize for the confusion! You can request any grade level to be unlocked completely, I will have Tanya connect with you personally.
