Air bubbles need a surface to cling to. Believe it or not, the surface of a plastic straw is not as smooth as you might think. You cannot see the roughness of the straw but it is enough for the bubbles to cling to and form there. The surface of a glass is usually smoother than a straw so bubbles have a harder time forming there. They just want to slide up the side of the glass to the top.

What is inside the bubbles of boil water Where they come from?
Dissolved air bubbles out of the water, as the boiling point of water is reached, water vapour starts to form inside the liquid in the form of bubbles
When making Styrofoam how do you push air bubbles into Styrofoam art?
You don't push air into Styrofoam.Styrofoam is "foamed" using a liquid blowing agent that is mixed into the liquid styrene resin before molding, this liquid blowing agent then evaporates forming bubbles in the styrene.This blowing agent used to be a freon, but as these can damage the ozone layer they have switched to using HCFC or HFC blowing agents.The bubbles in styrofoam are filled with the gaseous form of the blowing agent, not air!
Can hair dryers pop bubbles?
Yes. Warm air hair dryers tend to pop soap bubbles by drying them out. The bubble is a thin layer of liquid held together by surface tension, and soap keeps the liquid suspended longer than ordinary bubbles in water.
What air bubbles are?
A bubble is a hollow golbule of gas! The wall is 3 millionths inch thick! Another definition of a bubble is air trapped inside liquid! The liquid is usally soap and water!
How should a coverslip be applied to a drop of liquid on a microscope slide?
You have to put the cover slip on at an angle
What makes bubbles?
Air that is blown in to the buble is kept in side only by a thin layer of liquid. So really it is air that makes bubbles.
Can air displace a fluid?
Yes, have you ever blown bubbles in a liquid?
What would happen if the student did not remove air bubbles from a pipette before delivering the liquid?
If the bubbles are not removed from a pipette, there will be less liquid inside the pipette than what was measured. The density will be lower as well.

Removing Air bubbles?
To remove the air bubbles, open the stopcock and the air bubbles will remove

Is pop liquid?
Liquid (And gas bubbles)
Can a liquid dissolve a gas?
There are a number of ways in which a gas could dissolve in a liquid. It could bind with the liquid molecules.
Is a bubble a solid?
A bubbles is a liquid filled with air, therefore no it is not a solid :). Just liquid floating around. Reasons for why they go up and down an be because of the temperature. Hot air goes up cold air goes down. I'm not really sure but yeah there's a lot of interesting facts behind bubbles :) you could probably even make a solid bubble. but i don't think it would be as much fun as soap bubbles.
What does frothing mean?
It means the incorporation of air into some substance to form a foam (a froth).
