Emery+B

Emery B. 2011-2012 The purpose of this experiment was to find out which mix of ingredients helped bubbles lasted longer, if mixing in certain ingredients even improved the time the bubble would last. It was hypothesized that adding water would increase the time a bubble lasted, because the reason bubbles pop is due to evaporation of the bubble’s water content. In the experiment, various liquids were combined with either bubble mix or dishwashing soap, and a bubble was blown onto a plastic lid. The combined liquid created when mixing bubble mix, sugar, and water together lasted the longest.
 * THE STUDY OF HOW COMBINING DIFFERENT INGREDIENTS WITH BUBBLE MIX IMPROVES THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT A BUBBLE WILL LAST**
 * ABSTRACT**

The hypothesis was partially true, water did make the bubble last longer than other combinations, but it did not make the longest lasting bubbles. Adding sugar and water created the longest lasting bubble. Something that was noticed was that bubbles have a pearly iridescence to them, but the longest lasting bubbles loss their iridescence after approximately 20 seconds. This may have been an effect of the sugar, for the reasons why it helps bubbles last longer is currently unknown. I think this will help people in the future, because it will help people who want to blow bubbles. If they have bubble mix, but it's almost out they could mix it with the ingredients I used that not only increase the amount of bubble mix, but the strength of the bubbles blown. Some more experiments I could do in in the future could include attempting to make bubble mix entirely from ingredients found in a house hold, or test to see if adding lemon juice or other liquids help bubbles last longer.
