Question
Select two questions as take-home investigation (Worked as homework and pictured them.)
(1) Try floating a sewing needle on water. In order for this activity to work, the needle needs
to be very clean as even the oil from your fingers can be sufficient to affect the surface
properties of the needle.
(2) Place the bristlesE of a paint brush into water. Pull the brush out and notice that for a
short while, the bristles will stick together. The surface tension of the water surrounding the
bristles is sufficient to hold the bristles together. As the bristles dry out, the surface tension
effect dissipates.
(3) Place a loop of thread on the surface of still water in such a way that all of the thread is in
contact with the water. Note the shape of the loop. Now place a drop of detergent into the
middle of the loop. What happens to the shape of the loop? Why?
(4) Sprinkle pepper onto the surface of water. Add a drop of detergent. What happens? Why?
(5) Float two matches kparallel to each other and add a drop of detergent between them.
What happens? Note: For each new experiment, the water needs to be replaced and the bowl
washed to free it of any residual detergent.
