How do we make bubbles? We need... ...to make a solution ...to stretch the solution ...and try not to pop it!
An experiment... (1) Let’s add together water (4 l), detergent (170 ml) and glycerol (15 ml). The detergent will DECREASE the surface tension of the water.

An experiment... (2) And now, let’s blow bubbles!
An experiment... (2) And now, let’s blow bubbles!

An experiment... (3) • Risk assessment: • N2: only teachers can handle this! (i.e. Do not touch!) • Condensed milk, cream, flavouring, colouring, cones: edible – take care
