      Bubbles tend to pop rather than melt! Bubbles are formed by creating liquids with high surface tension (the forces that hold the surface of a liquid together) and filling them with a gas. Bubbles then pop either when there is a difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the bubble that is bigger than the surface tension, or when someone interrupts the surface tension, i.e. by poking it!
