For instance, the water strider insect can run on water surfaces, which helps it to survive.]]> 2017-12-21 03:32:30 UTC https://padlet.com/55790/pfpxmub4ogg3/wish/217626442 55790 https://padlet.com/55790/pfpxmub4ogg3/wish/217626502 Insects such as this water strider can walk on water because of the water's surface tension to hold it up. This applies to other scenarios, such as coins "floating" on water.]]> 2017-12-21 03:33:58 UTC https://padlet.com/55790/pfpxmub4ogg3/wish/217626502 55790 https://padlet.com/55790/pfpxmub4ogg3/wish/217627371 This is a demonstration of how the surface tension of water can hold up the weight of a paper clip.]]> 2017-12-21 03:53:59 UTC https://padlet.com/55790/pfpxmub4ogg3/wish/217627371 55790 https://padlet.com/55790/pfpxmub4ogg3/wish/217628023 The water's surface tension is strong enough to hold up this coin. Because of hydrogen bonding, the water is strong enough to withstand the weight, mass, pressure, and force of the coin.]]> 2017-12-21 04:06:54 UTC https://padlet.com/55790/pfpxmub4ogg3/wish/217628023 55790 https://padlet.com/55790/pfpxmub4ogg3/wish/217628479 Some liquid chemicals do not mix because of their tension. For example, oil has a lower surface tension than water, so when they are put together, they remain separate.]]> 2017-12-21 04:14:31 UTC https://padlet.com/55790/pfpxmub4ogg3/wish/217628479 55790 https://padlet.com/55790/pfpxmub4ogg3/wish/217628496 Water molecules pull inwards therefore creating water droplets. During the water cycle, these droplets are identified as precipitation, or rain. The water continue through the water cycle, and at different stages return to their form of droplets because of the liquid's surface tension pulling the molecules inward.]]> 2017-12-21 04:14:59 UTC https://padlet.com/55790/pfpxmub4ogg3/wish/217628496 55790 https://padlet.com/55790/pfpxmub4ogg3/wish/217628549 https://water.usgs.gov/edu/surface-tension.html
