polarity
water is the only substance on earth found in common states of matter
all
What are the ingredients for this experiment?
Dish, Milk, Soap, Qtip, and Food Coloring
What are the ingredients for this art project?
Water, big bowl, paint, paper, paper towel/towel.
Is a water strider a spider?
No
Are All water droplets the same size
No, so are much bigger than others.
What is polarity?
It is when a bond of different atoms have both a positive charge on one side and a negative charge on the other side.
What is soap doing in this experiment?
Is is a surfactant in this experiment which breaks the surface tension in the milk.
Is clean up of this art form easy?
Yes
How does the water strider detect a small insect to eat?
By feeling the vibrations the small insect makes when it lands on the surface of the water.
What Causes Surface Tension?
Since all molecules in a water drop are attracted to each other, they are all held still. On the outermost layer, there is a net inwards pull because they are not completely surrounded by water. This causes a small film-like layer of water molecules to form on the surface, rather than in a random formation
what do opposites do
attract
What happens in this experiment?
The soap breaks surface tension allowing the water to move about which then bumps into the fat which then all bumps into the food coloring, creating a colorful effect.
What country is this art form from?
Japan
What does the water strider have on its legs in order to not break surface tension?
Hair
What are molecules?
It is the smallest amount of a bond to still have the same properties of that bond.
