Students in Ms. Quinehan's classroom experimented with four ingredients this week. Each team started with the same amount of the four ingredients and three bowls of water. The phenomenon the students were presented with was "bouncing bubbles." Several teams of students found the right mix of the ingredients and created bouncing bubbles!
