Ask your student about their experiment.

It is all about bubbles in science class. For the past two weeks we have been studying about the Scientific Method through Bubbleology. It has been great learning fun. We conducted experiments to see what cleaned a soapy table better: plain water or vinegar and water. We also conducted experiments to see which dish detergent makes the best bubble making solution: Dawn Green, Palmolive, or Shoppers Value. This week these scientists designed and carried out their own experiments. All experiments asked which solution made the biggest bubble and the bubble solutions created and tested were very interesting. Some of the bubble solutions tested and compared were: blue Dawn and water vs blue Dawn and milk; green Dawn and water vs root beer and green Dawn; organic dish soap and water vs green Dawn. Other students compared the effect of hot and cold on the bubble solution by testing three Dawn solutions: one room temperature, one cold and one hot. Other students tested which Dawn dish soap - red, green or blue - made the biggest bubbles. Students blew bubbles with the solutions and when the bubbles popped, they measured the size of the remaining soapy ring in centimeters. After 3 trials of the solutions they were comparing, students determined the mean. Students then presented their experiment findings to their classmates.
