Distilled water

glycerin, optional

sugar

Instructions

1. Make your own bubbles using one of the following methods:
* Mix 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup liquid soap (make as much as needed
using equal amounts of both).
* Mix together 1/3 cup liquid soap, 1/3 cup glycerin (a small amount of glycerin
makes stronger bubbles, but is not necessary), 1/3 cup distilled
water, and 1 cup sugar per quart of solution.
Tip: Use distilled water because hard water does not work well.
2. Keep the bubble mixture at room temperature.
3. Bubbles can be used for pure enjoyment indoors and out. They can be used
for a science, art, or math project.
Tip: If using bubbles indoors, cover the floor because it can become very
slippery from the bubble mixture.
