Advanced Preparation
- The bubble solution must be prepared before the activity
- 1 gallon of distilled water + 12 oz dish soap + 1 oz Glycerol
- 3 5-gallon buckets of soap solution must be created for the activity
- Rinse the bubble wands and tubs extensively to eliminate dirt and bubble solution from the previous year’s Science Carnival.
For “Standing in a bubble”:
- Plastic tarp with bubble solution and large ring with handle set up for bubble chamber
- Stand on tarp and another person lifts ring with solution to surround person standing with a bubble
For other bubble activities:
- Use different sized bubble wands and rings to create a variety of bubbles
- Use scented bubbles to create bubbles that smell
- Dip square bubble wand into bucket to create a cube
- Use garland wand to create multiple large bubbles at once
Possibly test different bubble solutions to see which create better characteristics of the bubbles
