How many drops of water can fit on a penny?

 

We are learning about the properties of water in science class.  The children experimented with water on different surfaces.  They noticed that water beads up on some materials and it is absorbed by other materials.   The children also observed what happens to water drops on a penny.  They learned that water forms a dome on a penny because of surface tension.
