You can get in on the action yourself by blending your own custom bubble mixes. Photo: photography (c) by Carl Tremblay, used with permission from Storey Publishingīy understanding the laws of chemistry and physics, today’s bubble masters have taken their art to new heights. The main goal is to show them different reactions and layers.įor a clear example of this experiment, check out this video. This time, a clear layer will be formed, showing another insoluble reaction.Īfter these mixing activities, you can further this experiment by letting the children find other ingredients to mix with water and have them determine if that substance is soluble or insoluble. The salt will disappear in the water, making it another soluble reaction. Children will see them combine - the water turning into that color - and know it is a soluble reaction. Children will notice there is a separation between both ingredients and that layers have formed, so it is an insoluble reaction. This guarantees a hands-on experiment that will allow the children to feel they are in control. Transparent containers with a lid or transparent cups with a spoon to mixīefore you begin the activity, ask the children what each ingredient is - whether it is a solid, liquid, or gas - and what they think will happen when you begin mixing them.Oil (cooking oil, vegetable oil, olive oil, etc.).
Do not worry! You can do it with ingredients you already have in your kitchen! With this exercise, children will learn the difference between soluble and insoluble substances. One of the best experiments you can do is the mixing activity. Teaching children chemistry can become a fun, at-home activity as a weekend afternoon project or as part of their remote learning curriculum.
