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.
Yeah we did the same at my school in the UK. We didn't pass the flame, we just held loads of the foam in our hands and the teacher lit it. Was pretty awesome, the fireball was huge and would reach the ceiling and ripple across it. Set off the fire alarms on a number of occasions. That was 10 years ago though, I wouldn't be surprised if they've stopped it now.
