The Fantastic Week 1

The Fantastic Week 1

This week's been fantastic because we have been doing some incredible stuff like bubble art in our buzz groups. Bubble art is a type of art where we have to make a drawing of a circle. Next we add some colours using pastels, but didn't put the colours in the middle because it will not be transparent. It sounded hard, but it was pretty simple once I got the hang of it. 

We were going to make a bubble recipe in our buzz groups, by researching bubble mixtures. We had to find one that was popular, because they would work better. So we searched around the internet looking for a good mixture. When we found a good mixture, Rio made a slide in her google drive which she shared to us. When we got the invitation we all went on and put our recipe on it.

It was fun making the slide, but there were no bubbles so we mixed our bubble mixture following the recipe and made our wands. using pipe cleaners. We made our mixture by adding dishwashing liquid, glucose syrup, water, food colouring and baking soda. For our wands we used pipe cleaners. First we added the dishwashing liquid and then the water. We got some glucose syrup and we slowly dripped it in. It was time for the baking soda. We used it because it would activate the mixture by fizzing it up. Finally we added 5 drops of red food colouring.

 We wrapped the the pipe cleaners around to create the wands. We made a triple bubble wand a giant one and some others too.

 Lastly we went outside and tested them out. I tried the triple one first. It was a success! The bubbles shot out  of my wand like a machine gun. When I tried the giant wand I dipped it in and slowly lifted it out but sadly it popped. So I tried some more until I succeeded and was amazed at the beautiful rainbow bubble I had created, because it was massive.

 The bubble was incredible. It was huge and surrounded me like a large hula hoop and lifted up like a halo over my head. I tried the other wands and created some long and skinny transparent bubbles. I was impressed with another groups huge dragon bubble. The bubble wand was like a portal when the rainbow bubble dragon came out. At the end we packed up the mixture and wands. 

Here are some photos of my group and another group.
