I AM CHOOSING THE METHANE TANK IF AVAILABLE

PART 2 (demonstrating it)


 * 1) Make sure no flames or anything flammable are near
 * 2) Have someone hold a lighter off until you give them the signal
 * 3) Pour 300 mL of detergent solution into the funnel. (The top of the glass tubing should be submerged by about 1.5 cm)
 * 4) Turn on methane tank or push down on beach ball making bubbles and let it grow big
 * 5) When tall enough for your liking add a few drops of water and watch the snake move. [[image:bubbles2.jpg width="315" height="289" align="right" caption="bubbles growing"]]
 * 6) Wet hands ( to prevent from popping bubbles, and to protect your hands from burning )
 * 7) Scoop up the snake ,walk around **AWAY** from the bubbling substance (as one does not want to set that tank on fire!!!)
 * 8) Jiggle the snake around till it stops being funny ( time dependent)
 * 9) When bored of that signal your fire bearer and they will light the snake and it will disappear engulfed in flames ^_^
 * 10) If have time allow students to hold it or set it on fire( if they are not responsible I will not allow them to do it any more)
 * 11) Shut off tank.
 * 12) Allow questions
