1. Did you observe any differences in your ability to produce bubbles using the mixtures in cup 1 and cup two?
2. Did you observe any differences in making bubbles in cups 1 and 3?
3. what can you conclude about the effects on of table sugar and table salt on your ability to produce bubbles?
Background info.
Each group member predicted a different cup would produce the most bubbles out of all. Each of us having a diverse background with bubbles we all had similar hypothesis but didn't pick the same cups.
Hypothesis- All the cups had a base solution of dish soap which produced bubbles already, but with the added ingredients such as the sugar and salt. The production its that with the sugary substance it is going to create a more sticky solution for better creating stronger bubbles. Thus we went with the cup with the added sugar.
Procedures-
1. Label three drinking cups 1, 2, and 3 . Measure and add one teaspoon of liquid dish detergent to each cup. use the measuring cup to add two thirds of a cup of water to each drinking cup. then swirl the cups to form a clear mixture. CAUTION! Wipe up any spills immediately so that no one will slip and fall.
2. Add a half teaspoon of a table sugar to cup 2 and a half teaspoon of table salt to cup 3. Swirl each cup for one minute.
3. dip the drinking straw into cup 1, remove it, and blow gently into the straw to make the largest bubble you can. Practice making bubbles until you feel you have reasonable control over your bubble production.
4. Repeat Step 3 with the mixtures in cups 2 and 3.
Data- We readily observed that when a surface is wet you can blow large bubbles. We also noticed the swirling colors that inhabit the bubble.
