Physical Property of Water...
I shouldn't have slacked because now I am having trouble finding a physical property of water because my groupmates took all the common ones so I must now do more extensive research to find different ones. After some research I found a good topic. It ios very interesting but a little difficult to understand. It is called surface tension and here is a geat website to research it http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/surten.html. Surface Tension is the tension every liquid has and it affects its stickiness. You can see this in the Meniscus. There is a slight curve in the water that is because of the stickiness of water. Water molecules at the surface are at a constant tug of war with each other. This great tension makes it a great support for objects trying to float on top.
