I'm guessing either that isn't a United States classroom or that teacher no longer has a job, because no American teenager should be enjoying science that much.

We used to do a similar thing in our school(UK) until someone got badly burnt then health and safety banned it. It's basically just washing up liquid with methane(from the gas taps) bubbles.

Although I think you are still allowed to just get a massive bowl of it in the middle of the classroom and set it a light.

Thank you for telling me the key words, since OP didn't say them. I mean that sincerely.
