Penny Surface Tension at Georgia Levvy blog

Penny Surface Tension. Use pennies, soap, and a pipet to conduct a lab on the surface tension. In this week's family science activity, explore the way soap decreases the surface tension of water by testing with water droplets on a penny. In this activity you will see how soap decreases the surface tension of water by putting water droplets on top of a penny. This kind of solution is called a surfactant. How many drops of water can you fit? There’s only one way to find out… by adding one drop at a time! Reinforce principles of the scientific method: In this lab you will learn about properties of liquids, specifically cohesion, adhesion, and surface tension. The higher the surface tension of the water, the bigger a droplet you can make before it breaks and flows over the edges of the penny. In the drops on a penny experiment, though, you’ll experience surface tension and cohesion at their finest. Surface tension is a property of a liquid that allows them to resist external forces when placed on a different material. Testing hypothesis, and analyzing data.
