Explore the amazing properties of water with two interesting scientific experiments related to atmospheric pressure, buoyancy (floating), density and surface tension.
In the first experiment we will learn about atmospheric pressure by creating a neutrally buoyant diver and seeing what happens when the pressure around it increases. The second will show off the adhesive properties of water and display how surface tension can help us “stack” water droplets onto a penny.
