====== Fluids and Surface Tension Demonstrations ===== **See also: **[[categories:pressure_fluids|Pressure and Fluids]], [[categories:water|Water and Solubility]]\\ \\ Fluids are substances that flow, such as liquids and gases. Surface tension is a property of liquids that creates an elastic-like effect at their surface. This category looks at the science behind these behaviours and how they influence natural systems and everyday experiences. Understanding fluids and surface tension helps explain a wide range of physical phenomena.\\ ---- struct table ---- schema: demo cols: page, materials, difficulty, safety, summary header: "Demonstration", "Materials", "Difficulty", "Safety", "Summary" filter: categories~Fluids and Surface Tension filter: page~demonstrations:% sort: title csv: 0 ---- **Materials**\\ ★☆☆ Easy to get from supermarket or hardware store\\ ★★☆ Available in most school laboratories or specialist stores\\ ★★★ Requires materials not commonly found in school laboratories\\ **Difficulty**\\ ★☆☆ Can be easily done by most teenagers\\ ★★☆ Available in most school laboratories or specialist stores\\ ★★★ Requires a more experienced teacher\\ **Safety**\\ ★☆☆ Minimal safety procedures required\\ ★★☆ Some safety precautions required to perform safely\\ ★★★ Only to be attempted with adequate safety procedures and trained staff\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\
