INTRODUCTION
Bubbles can be seen everywhere. They are used in kids’ parties and other outdoor activities like picnic. They are also cheap and easy to make. You just need dishwashing liquid, glycerin and water.
The purpose of this experiment is to prolong the tenacity of bubbles that are made from dishwashing liquid. Another aim is to entertain children who are fond of playing bubbles.
However, other types of soap like granulated soap can be used in creating bubbles, but we used dishwashing soap/liquid in our research because it creates the best bubble solution.
Glycerin is also highly "hygroscopic" which means that it absorbs water from the air. It is also used in making soaps, that’s why it is also needed in creating bubbles.
When bubbles are exposed in the air, it becomes thinner and thinner until it pops. This shows the fast weakening of the tenacity of bubbles. That’s why we choose this research. We choose this so we can prolong the tenacity of bubbles so it won’t pop quickly
Background of the Study
Bubble blowing may go back in ancient times. Though unverified, C.V. Boys (Soap Bubbles: Their Colors and the Forces Which Mold Them) quotes third-hand the earliest depiction of blowing bubbles which was seen on an Etruscan vase in the Louvre in Paris.
Years after the first bubble blowing, it became popular especially to children. It became used for entertainment. Some people discovered creating other shapes of bubbles which became more entertaining. Today, bubbles are now used for parties and outdoor activities.
Bubble blowers are the one that converts the bubble solution into bubbles. Pipes and wands were the earliest mass produced bubble blowers. Today, we use mechanical bubble blowers
