18/12/19 Its almost Christmas and we are so excited. Today we are doing a bubble experiment. We made our own bubble wands. Some people made their bubble wands with PLASTIC straws, wooden popsicle sticks and pipe cleaners. We made 2 mixtures. The first one included half a cup of corn starch,1.5 litres of water, 2 cups of dish soap, 1 tablespoon of glycerin, 1 tablespoon of baking soda and we put plastic wrap on top. For the second one we put half a cup of warm water, 1 tablespoon of glycerin, 2 tablespoon of dish soap and a plastic wrap on top. We did it with room 3. We tested it out and had fun looks like the first mixture worked out good. We will leave the mixture for longer and see tomorrow if it is as good as today.
