The Bubbles Company needs a ‘best bubble’ mixture to make the longest lasting bubble. Are you up to the challenge?

Have a go at trialling, adjusting and evaluating mixtures of different liquid ingredients until you find the best bubble. Try this activity inside or outside - or both!

What you will need:

  • Washing up liquid
  • Water
  • 4-6 small containers (eg yoghurt pots)
  • Bubble wand (could be homemade – use examples on the activity sheet below)
  • Teaspoon

Watch our video explaining what to do.

  • Bubble mixture should not be swallowed
  • Be careful if carrying out your experiment indoors as floors could become slippery
