Surface Tension Activity


Today we started class with our Daily Question Quiz - then moved in to the daily question and activities for this week.

Monday September 10th
 *Water can and WANTS to form bonds with how many other water molecules?
4
*Waters attraction to other water molecules is known as Cohesion
*The term for how water “pulls in” at the surface to form a “film” is known as Surface Tension

I showed you guys surface tension by having you try and balance the pin on top of the water.  We then got through notes on adhesion/capillary action.  We will continue through those tomorrow!
