V: 0Students will follow their procedures and conduct the Bubble Lab experiment.

Grade Level students will record the diameter of the bubbles.

Pre-AP students will record the circumference of the bubbles.

Bubble Lab

V: 0ANALYSIS & CONCLUSION

Students will make a bar graph comparing the diameter (GL) or circumference (PreAP) of the different bubble mixtures.

After the graph is made, the students will write a conclusion stating if their hypothesis was correct or not and how they would change this experiment in the future.
