Book bug session!!!
Its Wednesday, so that means Book bug!
Today’s activity is…..bubbles!
Can you make bubbles by using washing up liquid?
- 150ml washing-up liquid
- 350ml water
- 2 teaspoons granulated or caster sugar
- One measuring jug, 500ml or larger
- One teaspoon
- One stirrer (eg. fork, spatula, wooden spoon)
- Bottle to store liquid (eg. used cola bottle, rinsed out)
- Funnel to transfer liquid from jug to bottle
Method
- Pour 350ml water into measuring jug
- Add 2 teaspoons of sugar
- Mix until sugar is dissolved
- Gently add 150ml washing-up liquid
- Stir gently until completely mixed (your aim is to combine the water and liquid whilst creating the minimum amount of froth- you do not want bubbles yet)
- Remove any froth from the surface (using the spoon or stirrer)
- Pour liquid into bottle using funnel; tilt the bottle and funnel whilst pouring to avoid frothing (froth will result in shorter lasting bubbles)
- Liquid is usable straight away, but you will get longer lasting bubbles if you leave the liquid to stand for 6-12 hours (overnight)
We would love to see your activities!
Have fun!
