1 Super Bubbles
Patrick and SpongeBob love to blow bubbles! Patrick found some Super
Bubble Soap at Sail-Mart. The ads claim that Super Bubble Soap will
produce bubbles that are twice as big as bubbles made with regular bubble
soap. Patrick and SpongeBob made up two samples of bubble solution. One
sample was made with 5 oz. of Super Bubble Soap and 5 oz. of water, while
the other was made with the same amount of water and 5 oz. of regular
bubble soap. Patrick and SpongeBob used their favorite bubble wands to
blow 10 different bubbles and did their best to measure the diameter of each
one. The results are shown in the chart
