Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

How does one ( a 6 grader) as an experiment --- Measure the surface tension of liquids ?

hi!

I found some sites that show how to measure surface tension. Here are two of them:

1. http://www.science-projects.com/SurfTension.htm
2. https://www.sciencebuddies.org/mentorin ... ?from=Home

I hope this helps! If you need more help just post again!

Hi Mrs. Cohen,

Here is a link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_tension

Look at the section "Liquid in vertical tube". There are some explanations about how to measure liquid surface tension.
