Kitchen Science Continues






Experiment 6 was "Spreading Pepper." We scattered pepper over a bowl of water. The pepper floated and we thought of many reasons why. We then talked about surface tension being like a skin on the top of the water. There was great excitement at the tables when soap was added to the plates. The pepper shot to the side of the bowl because the soap breaks the surface tension. We made a cardboard boat and when we added soap it also shot to the side of the bowl.
