Problem On which surface will a bubble last the longest?
Surfaces we will be testing • Table top • Construction Paper • Aluminum Tray • Plastic Tray • Wax Paper
Hypothesis • IF I blow a bubble on different surfaces • THEN the bubble will last the longest on ________________ surface • BECAUSE _____________________ _______________________________ Choose from Table top, Construction Paper, Aluminum Tray, Plastic Tray, & Wax Paper
Variables • Independent Variable (you change): • Dependent Variable (you measure): Surface Time the bubble lasts in seconds
Materials • 1 cup of bubble mix • 1 desk top • 1 aluminum tray • 1 plastic tray • 1 piece of construction paper • 1 piece of wax paper • 1 bubble wand
Procedure • One person will blow a bubble on the first surface. • As soon as the bubble is complete, another person will start the stopwatch.

Conclusion • Was your hypothesis supported? Why or why not? Use data to defend your answer. • Identify any possible errors or factors that could have affected the experiment. • Is there anything you would do differently next time? • List at least three other surfaces you could test to see how long a bubble would last.
