Original caption

🧪 Experiment: Surface Tension 🔬 Science Behind It: This experiment demonstrates surface tension. Water molecules stick to each other, creating a thin, invisible “skin” on the water’s surface. When the glass is placed upside down, this surface tension helps form a seal around the rim, while the trapped air inside the glass prevents water from rushing in. Together, they help keep the boat protected. 💬 Comment “SCIENCE” for more fun and easy science experiments! #montessoriathome #toddleractivities #scienceexperiments #stemeducation #educationalfun
