Bubble sensation!

Today at Technicraft, students at Saint Patrick's school had an amazing experiment,  there was 5 plastic cups on each table including the contents: glycerine, glucose, salt, sugar and detergent, there was also two straws, a jug of cold water and a stopwatch. Some students guessed the experiment had something to do with blowing bubbles and it was true. The assignment was to record how long each bubble blown from the cups filled with glucose, glycerine, salt etc.  

Each cup was filled with water. Then the students waited until the teacher said go. Ready, set, GO!, the students were off with there bubbles, stopwatches were timing how long each bubble lasted. Then students were instructed to stop and to list their time of each bubble which was done in in a matter of time.

All of a sudden, out of nowhere the teacher cracked a funny pun," You what they say, you shouldn't throw a clock, because time flies", students didn't get it at first, but in a moment of 'time', they got it and had a big laugh about. Then it was time to pack up.

Students went home with smiles on their faces, hoping the next lesson is even better.

Muscle man

I drew a muscle man,

Fuming with rage.

Bulging with muscles,

In an iron cage.

He challenged me to a fight,

"I'll meet you up on stage"

I shivered with fright and

Tore up the page.
