| | The first time I did it I didn't put 5 lbs in the bowl. The ice makes a "smoke" with the warm water. Stretch the T-shirt tight as you pull it over the lip of the bowl. The bubble I made was about the size of the bowl I was using. I tried to do the experiment a 2nd time with more ice but there was soap still in the bowl so I got a bunch of little bubbles. Cool but not as cool as one big bubble, so make sure your bowl doesn't have any bubble stuff left over in it. |

| Tried it in the house with a rectangular rubbermaid that is not a bowl. It worked! Its just that I have a rectangular bubble  I tried it during our recruitment on a round bowl. It didn't bec I didn't use the same cloth and its shorter. The cloth should be stretchy and longer than the rim. I tried doing it five times and missed two attempts. So practice is really the key.Nice

| | http://forums.group.com/Topic27235-4476-3.aspx?Highlight=dry+ice Check out the above thread for dry ice discussions. Bottom line is to practice! It really helps. I had watched the Steve Spangler video first. I did the experiment for the 4th time last Sunday during children's church, and it was a huge hit!! I had done it at each of my kids' birthday parties, one again just to practice, and then last week. Good luck! Janet (in OH) |

Nice So do you drape the cloth over the whole bowl? I was thinking you ran the tshirt around the rim of it. I guess I am confused. Is it on the Steve Spangler site?

| You mean you haven't seen it on Dr. Blindstein's Lab?  Check it out under the Craft & Activities Bubble then by clicking on Cool Experiments.  If you do a search you will actually see Dr. Blindstein performing the experiment during his Fall outreach in October of last year.

| Of course! I forgot about it being on Dr. B's site.  I remember taking notes on what to say if it took a few times to get it to work.I took a strip of t-shirt (soaked in Dawn dishwashing liquid mixed with a LITTLE water) and ran it across the rim of the bowl. Janet (in OH) |
