  1. The Science of Soap

  2. SURFACE TENSION What allows this bug to walk on water?What holds drops of water together?How can this paper clip float?

  3. Surface Tension • Water particles push and pull on each other. • The ones at the top pull really hard to try to stay with other particles like them.

  4. Surface Tension Experiment Predict: How many drops of water do you think a penny can hold? Test it: One partner counts while the other drops. Then switch!

  5. Surface Tension Experiment Predict: Do you think adding soap to the water will allow for more or less drops? Test it: One partner counts while the other drops. Then switch!

  6. Draw Conclusions Predict: Why would we need soap to reduce the surface tension of water in order for it to work? Find Out: Click here to watch a video called
