@danieltaysworld: 🖇️🌊 How can a metal paper clip float on water when metal is denser than water? The secret lies in surface tension. Water molecules at the surface attract one another strongly, forming an invisible “skin” across the water. If a paper clip is placed gently on the surface, this delicate skin can support its weight and keep it afloat. But add a drop of soap and the magic disappears. Soap breaks down the surface tension, causing the paper clip to sink immediately. Science reminder: Sometimes the smallest forces create the biggest surprises. ✨🔬 #ScienceFacts #PrimaryScience #SurfaceTension #STEMEducation #BestmindsAcademy
