Soap bubbles for the ISS

Soap bubbles for the ISS
How do soap bubbles behave in microgravity? And can they be propelled with sound waves? Ideas for experiments were proposed by the participants of 'Aktion 42', a schools' competition held by the German Aerospace Center (DLR), the European Space Agency (ESA) and the 'Jugend forscht' foundation for young researchers. When German ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst flies to the International Space Station (ISS) in May 2014, he will try to answer these questions.
