Here’s an easy experiment with pepper and soap that allows you to see surface tension – and its destruction. Photo by John Bush, Tristan Gilet/MIT. Shake some pepper, carefully, into a cup of ...
Discover how surface tension keeps water molecules together and how soap can break this force. Watch as pepper flees from soap in water, demonstrating molecular interactions in an exciting way. Watch ...
You have broken the surface tension of the water, so the pepper no longer can float on top. (For the littles, you can make their finger a shark and people rushing to get out when they see it.) ...
Cohesion is the attraction of like molecules to one another. In this experiment, we're examining like H20 molecules in the water drops. Surface tension describes the cohesion between water molecules.
Those near the droplet’s surface, however, are pulled mostly inward by the water molecules below them. This creates "surface tension." ...
Mister C and the Science Crew bubble over with excitement creating a square bubble!
The surface tension of a liquid is a measure of the cohesive forces that hold the molecules together. It is responsible for a water drop assuming a spherical shape and for the effects of ...
Surface tension in space makes water spheres. Microgravity experiment goes viral By Sohini Sengupta Jan 17, 2022 10:19 AM IST ...
The final installation in the K-STEAM Scholars Summer Camp program at Knoch School District took place the week of July 21, ...
