Question

Ximena is an expert at blowing bubbles with bubble gum. She discovered that her bubbles were bigger if she stood facing the Sun when she blew them. At lunch she told her three best friends about her discovery and after school they all tried it. No one else was able to blow bigger bubbles when they faced toward the Sun. Which of the following would be best for Ximena to do next? * 10 points A. She should give them each bigger pieces of bubble gum and try it one more time. B. She should prove she is right by blowing bubbles while her friends are watching. C. She should ask her friends to try it again and concentrate harder when they face the Sun. D. She should think about what else she is doing that might have made the bubbles bigger.

Answer 1

Based on the given scenario, the best option for Ximena to do next would be option D - She should think about what else she is doing that might have made the bubbles bigger.

Since no one else was able to blow bigger bubbles by just facing the Sun, there might be some other factors that are contributing to the size of the bubbles that Ximena is blowing. By thinking about what other things she might be doing differently compared to her friends, Ximena might be able to discover what is causing the difference in bubble size.

This will help her understand her discovery better and may also help her friends achieve the same results. She can then demonstrate the technique to her friends and they can practice it together.
