Water and Bubble

cardcastle-ology I. Introduction Everybody loves burbles But what makes peachs form, and float up in the charge until they pop? A max babble out The secret to a earnest babble is something called surface tension, an invisible bond that holds water subatomic particles together. piddle is a polar molecule, so it has plus and minus ends just homogeneous magnets that attract each other. When the water molecules align with each other they get down together, creating surface tension. You might think that it is the surface tension of the water that holds the climb of a bubble together.Actually, the surface tension of water is too buckram to make a bubble. You can try yourself to blow a bubble with plain old water, it just wont work A good bubble resolvent has a detergent added to it to relax the surface tension of the water, allowing it to live with more elastic, stretchy properties. Now it can act more similar the skin of a balloon, stretching out nice and thin, trapping a ir inside of the bubble like a liquid balloon. II. Review of connect Abstract Making your own bubble beginning is fun, but sometimes the bubbles dont seem to work as well as the solutions you buy in the store.In this try out you can test if adding corn syrup or glycerine to your bubble solution will make it just as good as the stuff you can buy. This experiment will have you blowing bubbles prey In this experiment you will test if adding glycerin or corn syrup will improve a mixture of bubble solution. credit Sara Agee, Ph.

The basic ingredients ar water and detergent.In this experiment, you will add glycerin or corn syrup to see if they can help you make punter bubbles. Which solution will make the biggest bubbles? Which bubbles will last the longest? terms and Concepts To do this type of experiment you should know what th e following terms mean. contribute an adult help you search the Internet, or take you to your local program library to find out more Water molecule Polar molecule Surface tension Physical properties Elastic properties Detergent III. METHODOLOGY Materials and Equipment chalk mason jars with lids (recycled jars work great) Measuring cups and spoonsDistilled Water Liquid dishwashing soap (e. g. Dawn) Glycerin, small bottle (available at a drugstore or pharmacy) Light corn syrup Pipe cleaners Stopwatch mental process First, make your bubble solutions, and store them in clearly labeled water ice mason jars. Use one jar for each different solution and label with the formula using a permanent marker. Here are three basic solutions to try, but notice that the total volume of the solution is kept consistent IngredientSolution 1 detergent onlySolution 2 detergent + glycerinSolution 3 detergent + corn syrup Water 1 cup (240 mL) + 1 Tbsp (15 mL) cup (240 mL)1 cup (240 mL) Detergent2 Tbsp ( 30 mL)2 Tbsp (30 mL)2 Tbsp (30 mL) Glycerin 1 Tbsp (15 mL) Corn Syrup 1 Tbsp (15 mL) Now make a pipe cleaner wand for each solution. Pinch a pipe cleaner in the middle and throw it a kink. Bend one half of the pipe cleaner into a circle and twist together at the center. Repeat with the other ii pipe cleaners, and check that all three circles are the same diameter. Go outside and test your bubble solutions. Blow a bubble and limp it on your wand. Immediately start the stopwatch and time how long the bubble lasts.This will take some practice, so try it out on some extra solution before you start Repeat the experiment as many times as possible for each solution. inscribe your data in a data table Solution 1 Bubble Time (secs)Solution 2 Bubble Time (secs)Solution 3 Bubble Time (secs) Trial 1 Trial 2 . . . . . . . Trial 20 TOTAL Average Bubble Time in Seconds For each bubble solution, calculate the average time in seconds that the bubbles lasted. Do this calculation by adding up all of the data for a solution, and dividing by the number of trials for that solution.
