Soap bubbles are like magic balloons made from water and soap. When you blow into a bubble wand, the air inside pushes out against the thin film of soapy water, making it stretch and float in the air. But when the film gets too thin, it can't hold up anymore, pop!
Examples
- A child blows a bubble with a wand and watches it float in the air like a mini balloon.
- A bubble pops on your finger when you touch it, splat!
- Bubbles burst in the sunlight, making tiny rainbows that disappear with each pop.
