Bubble sculpture

Do you know how bubbles work?

The secret to making bubble is surface tension. If you try to make bubbles using normal water, you will quickly see that it doesn't work very well. This is because the surface tension—the forces holding the molecules of a liquid together—of water is too high. When detergent is added to water, it lowers the surface tension so that bubbles can form. Sugar can be added to the solution of water and detergent to make even better bubbles.

The solution with only water and detergent makes smaller, shorter-lived bubbles compared to the solutions with sugar. Bubbles burst when the layer of water molecules between the detergent molecules evaporates. But sugar forms a weak bond with the water molecules and slow down the evaporation process, thus improving the life span and durability of the bubble.

Make you own bubble solution with things at home.

Things required:

Water - 8 tablespoons

Sugar- 1 tablespoon

Liquid soap- 1 tablespoon

Straw - 1

Method:

1. Take the water and sugar in a bowl.

2. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved.

3. Add the liquid soap to this mixture and stir well.

Now your bubble mixture is ready.

Cut the straw in half and dip one end in the bubble mixture and blow bubbles through the other end.

To make a bubble sculpture, spread a little of the bubble mixture on a flat surface then blow a bubble gently on it. Then blow another bubble and continue adding more bubbles to it.
