How Do Bubbles Form and Pop?

Bubbles are like tiny, round balloons made of air inside a thin layer of soap. When you blow on a bubble wand, the air gets trapped in the soap film, making it stretch and grow until it can’t hold any more air, then it pops! It’s like when your balloon bursts after you’ve blown it up too much.
