Teach Engineering: Measuring Surface Tension
Students observe capillary action in glass tubes of varying sizes. Then they use the capillary action to calculate the surface tension in each tube. They find the average surface tensions and calculate the statistical errors.

Teach Engineering: Capillarity Measuring Surface Tension
Young scholars are presented with a short lesson on the difference between cohesive forces (the forces that hold water molecules together and create surface tension) and adhesive forces (the forces that causes water to "stick" to solid...
Science Struck
Science Struck: An in Depth Comparison of Cohesion vs. Adhesion
Explains what cohesion and adhesion are; what their effects are in a liquid; what surface tension, a meniscus, and capillary action are; and gives examples of where one can observe cohesion and adhesion.
