Contact Angle. Interfacial Tension and Wetting

As amazing as James Bond is, the surface tension of water does not allow him to walk on it! For this series of little lab activities, physical scientists play with the properties of water due to the hydrogen bonds and resulting polarity....

Five fabulous procedures introduce physics or chemistry classes to special properties of matter. They discover adhesion and cohesion, solubility, melting and boiling points, and viscosity through hands-on experiences. Tests are...

How can you effectively provide detailed concepts of water properties to your high school class in a way they find exciting and challenging at the same time? By letting them play, of course! Through a variety of experiments, pupils...

Students explore physical science by participating in a water properties experiment. In this surface tension lesson, students utilize pennies, water, a dropper and soapy water to test the different surface tensions with numerous objects....

Surface tension helps us perform some simple—but impressive science. The video presents many experiments to briefly explain surface tension. From the surface tension on milk and coffee to water, the experiments demonstrate the strength...

Students observe and investigate why water has a strong surface tension.

Georgia State explains, defines, and illustrates the concept of surface tension. Includes photos, examples and links to further information.

From a chapter on Fluid Statics in a Physics textbook. This section of the chapter describes the cohesive and adhesive forces in liquids, the role of cohesion in the surface tension of liquids and bubbles, and how capillary action works....

Surface tension in water, and how the surface tension is related to hydrogen bonding.

Take a look at an organized physics course. The 34-section electronic textbook covers material in AP® Physics 1 and 2. Teachers use the text to supplement lectures and have the class work through the labs. Each section contains multiple...
