Bubble Suspension
published by the Exploratorium
Try this activity from the Exploratorium-- you'll make the startling observation that soap bubbles can float! Dry ice is required, so gloves and adult supervision are a must.  The site also includes an explanation of the physics involved (it's buoyancy) and other quick experiments that can be done with bubbles. This activity is part of Exploratorium's Science Snacks series.
