Soap Films Made Easy
"Imagine studying soap bubbles for a living! That’s what Maarten Rutgers does. For high school science students, and other serious science fans, this site goes far beyond what is covered in the other sites. Click on Fun/Bubble Details to learn that ""a bubble is a film, but a film is not a bubble. Bubbles usually start as a film, for instance in a bubble wand. Once you have blown on this film, it will separate to form a free floating entity called a bubble. Soap films must be bounded on all sides, or their surface tension will pull them into tiny droplets."""
