This week at STEM Club, we investigated different bubble mixtures to see if more water or less water with washing up liquid produced the best bubbles. We also tried a mixture with a secret ingredient (glycerin!) which made the bubbles last much longer.
The children also had fun experimenting with different objects to make their bubbles including colanders, air-hoc balls, spatulas, cookie cutters and string! They were also able to try and make giant bubbles using hoops joined together with string that were carefully dipped into the bubble mixture in a tuff tray.
The weather was very kind to us and we had a fun hour enjoying our outdoor learning. Some pupils also had a try at leaf and bark rubbings and really enjoyed it. We hope to try and do some more rubbings at our next session.
