Waterworks!

    We are learning about the properties of water in science class.  We learned about surface tension by piling drops of water on a penny.  It was fascinating to see the water form a dome and raise high above the penny surface.  We also looked at how surface tension works with water in a plastic cup.  We learned that soap can break the surface tension of water by putting a drop of soapy water onto the penny.  It spilled onto the tray.  We also learned that salt does not break the surface tension.  We will be doing lots of experiments with water!!
