Blow bubbles
Have you ever blown bubbles? It is easy and lots of fun. Why don’t you have a go using a mixture of detergent, glycerine, and water. The glycerine is the secret ingredient. Mix together one part detergent, one glycerine, and six parts water. Pour all this into a large flat dish. Next, make a large circle
out of a stiff piece of wire. Dip the circle into the bubble solution and swing the wire through the air, or blow through the circle, to form a large bubble. Actually, the bubble is really three bubbles in one. There is an outside layer of water, a middle layer of soap, or in this case glycerine, and an inner layer of water.
