Question

i have to make a bubble solution for science and my teacher said that there is one kind of soap that is best to make bubbles with but he wouldnt tell us. wat is it? and he said there is something else u can put in a bubble solution that makes the bubbles better besides soap and water, wat is it? thx

Answer 1

Dawn dish soap and glycerin.

According to http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/00000028 where he gives instructions to make Bouncing Bubble Solution:

"About the Ingredients...

Water - The single most important part of the bubble solution is the water. Good quality water that does not contain high levels of iron or minerals is best. If you're uncertain as to the quality of your tap water, invest in a gallon of distilled water from the grocery store.

Soap - When it comes to soap, Dawn® dish soap just seems to work the best for home-made bubble solutions.

Glycerin - Glycerin is the secret additive that gives a bubble its extra strength. Don't be too shocked by the price on a bottle of high quality Glycerin. Contact the pharmacist at your local grocery store for availability. (Note: Some bubble recipes substitute Karo® Syrup for Glycerin due to the expense and availability of Glycerin.)"

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The extra ingredient to make it bubblier is a little sugar. I always used Dawn dish soap.
