How many drops of water can you get onto a 1p? Does it make a difference whether you drop them onto the heads or tails side? Does it make a difference if you drop vinegar or oil perhaps? As physicists and chemists we investigated these questions. What we found was as the water was dropped, a dome shape formed which was the water molecules being attracted to each other creating one large drop instead of lots of individual drops. Then there is a battle between the surface tension keeping the water on the coin versus the gravitational pull, which eventually wins and causes the water to spill.
At our first STEM club it was lovely to welcome back some of the children from last year and to welcome new members too. We ventured into the world of mixocology to see how the different densities of liquids reacted when mixed together. Some wonderful creations were made - featuring lunar landscapes and potions Filius Flitwick would have been proud of!! Who knows where this knowledge will take our 'STEMMERS' next.
