In this video we are making Giant Bubbles with the help of easy to find at home ingredients. WHAT YOU NEED Bubble mixture: 5 cups of water 1/2 cup of cornstarch (corn flour) 1/2 cup of dishwashing liquid tablespoon of baking powder tablespoon of glycerin bucket wooden spoon Bubble maker: string coloured tape washer two flexible straws scissors two garden stakes 1. Add the water to the bucket. The water should be a little bit warm to help the ingredients mix. 2. Mix the cornstarch into the water and stir it in using the wooden spoon. If it sinks to the bottom, just stir it up again. 3. Pour in the glycerin, baking powder, and dishwashing liquid. Stir gently, trying not to create too much foam. Let the mixture rest for about an hour, but stir it occasionally. 4. Now you can build the bubble maker. Cut two straws in half, then fold each half in half again at the flexible part to create a loop. 5. Press the loop against the top of one garden stake, then lightly wrap a piece of tape around both to hold the loop in place. Repeat for the other garden stake. 6. Cut a pice of string 2 metres long (6 1/2 ft). Tie the washer onto the string at the halfway point with a knot or a loop, so that it creates a weight to pull the string down. 7. Thread one end of the string through each of the loops. 8. Tie the two ends of the string together so that the string makes a complete loop. Your bubble maker is ready - it's time to make some giant bubbles. 9. Dip the string into the mixture and swirl it around. Lift the string from the bubble mixture by gently pulling the stakes out of the bucket. Keep the stakes fairly close together for now, and make sure the string has been soaked with the mixture. 10. Once you have fully lifted the bubble maker out of the mixture, slowly move the stakes apart. You might need to practice a little bit. As you pull the stakes apart, take a step backward to trap some air inside the soapy film. To close up a bubble, bring the stakes closer together. HOW IT WORKS A bubble is like a ballon, but instead of stretchy rubber holding the air inside, there is a stretchy film of soapy water. Water by itself won't make a bubble because water molecules cling together too strongly, forming droplets instead of a film. But adding soap changes that. One end of each soap molecule always points away from the water, while the other end of the molecule is attracted to the water. The water ends up trapped inside a very thin sandwich , with soap molecules either side.\n
