Scale 1: Intro and Surface Tension

from Everyday Science Hosted by PSD10 and Little Shop of Physics

How does the size of something change how it behaves? Size matters, after all! We start with some simple experiments about scale. Is it possible to turn a cup of water upside down without it spilling out? What if you hold it perfectly still, no moving? The answer has to do with surface tension.
