Who can make the biggest bubble?

After trialling at least 3 different mixtures and several different wands each group got to make 2 of their best mixtures for the big bubble blow off.

We were able to make bigger bubbles than we had previously made. Some mixtures worked better than others.

And we all had fun. Science is great. :)
