Ask Me About: 

In Science today we talked about “surface tension.”  We observed that pepper can float on water due to water’s surface tension.  Then we added dish soap to the water, which changed the surface tension.  What happened to the pepper after we added the dish soap?  (The pepper sank to the bottom of the plastic cup.)
