Stuck like glue....

In Science on Friday, we observed the surface of calm water (surface tension).  First we made predictions, guessing how many drops of water we thought we could stack on a penny before it overflowed.  Using medicine droppers, we carefully began putting water, drop by drop, onto the flat surface of the penny.  We discussed how water is held onto the penny by surface tension.  Too much water caused the "skin" to break, making the water run off the penny!  The "dome" we observed forming on top of our pennies was cool!
