Unpoppable Bubbles (Creative Chemistry Experiments)

You will need:

1. Glass bowl
2. Bubble wand
3. 1 cup of regular
   dish-washing liquid soap
4. ½ cup of corn syrup
   (light or dark
   syrup will do)
5. Spoon

Bubbles are fun, but they are also extremely fragile. What if you could make gigantic bubbles which did not pop. Follow this simple experiment to find out.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Take a glass bowl and mix together the dish-washing liquid soap and corn syrup to form the solution.
2. Take a bubble wand and blow mid-sized bubbles because larger-sized bubbles are more difficult to handle and they burst easily.
3. You can handle your mid-sized bubbles with wet hands or the back of a spoon.

RESULT

Where regular soap bubbles have a thin layer of water between two thin layers of soap, the corn syrup bubbles are sturdier, as the corn syrup in the bubble does not dry out or evaporate as fast as water. Corn syrup bubbles are a cross between regular soap water bubbles and sugar polymer bubbles.
