We learned how ants can lift up to 100 times
their own weight because of surface tension. We explored this further by
putting a drop of water between two glass microscope slides and trying to pull
them apart. It was pretty much impossible! We also sprinkled pepper
onto water. Then added a drop of dish soap. At first, the pepper
floated, but as soon as the soap was added, the pepper sank. We wrote
creative stories related to this experiment.
