Amusing Surface Tension Experiment

The video explores a science experiment using a clicky pen spring in water. Initially, the spring floats due to surface tension, as the tightly bonded H2O molecules create a net on the water's surface. The video humorously explains the concept of surface tension and how soap can disrupt it by breaking hydrogen bonds, causing the spring to sink.

What happens to the spring when it is placed in water, and why does it float?

How does the analogy of the Titanic relate to the spring's ability to float?

Explain the role of water molecules in supporting the spring.

Describe the concept of surface tension as mentioned in the text.

What effect does soap have on the surface tension of water?
