This can be used to teach about surface tension or to demonstrate the importance of using soap while washing hands.

Can be explained that when you bring the balloon close to the water stream, the negative charge attracts the positive parts in the water atoms. The attraction pulls the water towards the balloon as it is flowing and bend the stream.

This explains why the stream comes out faster because it has more water pressure.

This lesson teaches color theory, capillary action, the scientific method, and engineering.

They have a thick layer of fat that acts as an insulator; blubber.

A higher temperature means greater motion. A lower temperature means less motion. The faster they move, the more quickly they will spread out into their container. This is what happens when you put a tea bag into cold and hot water.
