A comment on Why do we salt the ice when making ice cream?. Parent comment
1. Create a mixture of soap, water, and glycerin. This will make bubbles harder to pop.
2. Get a sealable container, poke a hole in the lid, the glue a tube in the hole.
3. Fill the container with water, then drop in pieces of dry ice. The CO2 should escape through the tube.
4. Stick the other end of the tube into the soap mixture.
5. Large bubbles will form with a cloudy gas of CO2.
6. Use towels to carry the bubbles, throw in the air, and combine with other bubbles.
I do this every Halloween. Kids get a kick out of it. A lucky few will stick around and learn about CO2, tensile strength, etc.
