Alcohol is supposed to lower the surface tension of water but how can I measure this to get data for my science fair? I would like to use water as the control then be able to use water + alcohol, and water + oil. I've read that alcohol decreases the surface tension of water but how can I do an experiment to show this?
Any help you can offer would be appreciated.
Thank you
