Demonstrates basic principles of water, including surface tension, pressure, and buoyancy. It shows how water can hold more than its brim due to surface tension, how pressure increases with depth, and ...

Note: This video is designed to help the teacher better understand the lesson and is NOT intended to be shown to students. It includes observations and conclusions that students are meant to make on ...

The paper clip is on the water but is not floating like a boat which is less dense than water. The paper clip is more dense than water but can rest on the surface of the water because of the water's ...

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- If you think about it, water can be kind of weird. It can be a liquid, a solid or a gas. It contracts when it is cooled to a certain point, then starts to expand as it gets closer ...

Physicists at the University of Liège have succeeded in sculpting the surface of water by exploiting surface tension. Using 3D printing of closely spaced spines, they have combined menisci to create ...

In its most basic form, surface tension is the tendency of liquids to bead up rather than spread out because they are more attracted to themselves (cohesion) than they are attracted to other things, ...

Geckos sprint across the surface of water using a combination of body motion and surface tension. The lizard’s technique was revealed by high-speed observations made by Jasmine Nirody at the ...

Introduction Water. You can drink it, splash it, dive into it, float things in it. But it has its strange side: it flows, but then on some surfaces, it won’t flow, it’ll just roll up into a little ...
