Experiment
What is it?
Steps
How does it work?
Surface Tension & Cohesion

● Attraction between water particles

● Soap and detergent reduce surface


tension

● As surface tension breaks it creates


enough of a force to push the
lightweight boat
Soap & Surfactants

● As soap collects
at top of water,
the soap
molecules break
the hydrogen
bonds of the
water molecules
