@chemicalkim: 🌹 Why does a water drop cling to a rose petal even when you flip it upside down? It beads up like the petal hates water… but it refuses to let go. That's the rose petal effect, and it's one of my favorite tricks in all of nature. Tiny bumps on the petal's surface hold the drop up and grab it at the same time. Here's the part that gets me. Ancient Mesoamericans were paying attention to this kind of science long before anyone had a microscope. They watched, tested, and figured out how nature works with their own hands. 🌿💧 Watch to the end to see a simple home science experiment you can do! 🧪👇 #LearnonTikTok #chemistrytok #TodayILearned #TeachersofTikTok #PrideTikTok
