The Bubble Gum Experiement

Maison came up with a really great Science Fair Project this year! He wants to figure out what brand of bubble gum would blow the biggest bubble! The following is the conversation that came about in the car.

"Hey Mom, can we figure out what kind of gum blows the biggest bubbles?" Maison asks.
I reply, "That sounds like a great idea!"

"Do you think you and Daddy could blow the bubbles for me? Because I can't blow bubbles very well." he says somewhat disappoint with his bubble blowing ability.

"Daddy and I would love to help you! I bet we could find some other people to help too." I say trying to lift his spirits.

All of a sudden from the backseat, in the most polite tiny voice, we hear, "Maison, I could help you if you want." Libby says trying to kiss up.

Maison frustratedly says, "Libby, you can't even blow a bubble! I'm older and my bubbles are small!."

With her feelings hurts she says, "Na-uh, look at this."

I look up in the rear view mirror and she is blowing the biggest bubble I have ever seen! When I say biggest bubble, I am saying biggest for the kind of gum she was chewing...Orbit! It literally was almost the size of her head!

Needless to say, it was on like Donkey Kong!

The Bubble Gum Experiment

Step 1: Ask a Question
What brand of gum blows the biggest bubble?

Step 2: Do Research

My Mom and I bought as many different kinds of bubble gum we could find. We bought Super Bubble, Double Bubble, Hubba Bubba, Bubblicious, Bubble Yum, and Rainblo.

Step 3: Hypothesis

I think Bubblicious will blow the biggest bubble.

Step 4: Experiment

I gave each of my participants one piece from each brand. As they chewed and blew bubbles, I had them rank their bubbles 1-6, 1 being the largest and 6 being the smallest.

Step 5: Conclusion

5 out of 6 participants said Hubba Bubba blew the biggest bubble!
