Double Experiments

For Lockdown we had a task to do.

It was to do two experiments,

One with ground peppercorns and soap,

And one where you have to float paper clips.

The reason for doing the experiment is to learn about water tension. You can see an example in the photo I took.

The water molecules stick together and don't break so the paper clip floats.

I found balancing the paper clip onto the other paper clip tricky.

Here is a video of attempt 127. AKA 5.
