Ever seen a bug skitter across the surface of a pond or notice the shape of a drop of water?
Put a tiny drop of water on the surface of a table.
You'll notice a bubble shape.
Or, try placing a single staple on a bowl of water and see what happens.
This all happens because of surface tension.
Surface tension is a barrier formed on the surface of water caused by a force called cohesion.
It holds the material together.
Break down surface tension in water with dish soap and you can clean off your dirty dishes after you eat.
Thanks, surface tension!
I hope to see you next time!
