Can you bounce a soap bubble without popping it? No, you don’t need a super soap solution for that, just some scientific know-how.

What you need:

A bubble blowing wand, Liquid dish soap, Water, Woollen gloves, A glass, A small cup

What to do:

1. Use the cup to measure out the liquid soap. Whatever the quantity of soap is, you will need three times more water. So, if you are using one cup of soap, you need three cups of water, if you are using half a cup of soap, use one-and-a-half cup of water.

2. Pour the mixture into the glass and stir well. Leave the mixture undisturbed for about 24 hours.

3. Now, use the bubble wand to blow a bubble using the soap mix. Try to catch the bubble in the palm of your free hand. What happens?

4. Put on the woollen glove. Now, try to catch a bubble in your gloved hand.

What happens:

The bubble pops as soon as it comes in contact with your bare hand. But when you wear a glove, you can actually hold the bubble without it popping. If you wear gloves in both hands, you can even bounce and juggle the bubble!

Why?

A bubble is nothing but a frail layer of soap surrounding some air.

When this layer comes in contact with oil or dirt, it bursts. Our skin has a lot of oil and dirt that is not visible to the naked eye. The glove kind of protects the bubble by insulating it from the impurities on our skin and it stays bouncy-fresh for longer!
