Science Experiments

We became scientists today and conducted and investigation. We each used droppers (or pipettes) to drop water onto a 10 cent coin to see how many drops we could make before the water overflowed over the edge of the coin. We were testing the water tension (how much it stuck together). We were amazed to see that we could get over 40 drops on some of the coins!

    wow! Amazing science experiment Haumia, I didn't know that you can fit over 40 drops of water on a 10 cent coin. Maybe you should try other coins like a 50 cent coin or a $2.
