Texas Gateway: Cohesion & Adhesion in Liquids: Surface Tension, Capillary Action

Due to surface tension, dew — a liquid, is spherical in shape. Learners explore the properties of liquids in activity seven in this series of 36. Beginning with its basic properties such as boiling point and moving through to surface...

The optimist sees the glass half full. The pessimist sees the glass half empty. The chemist sees the glass completely full, half with liquid and half with air. The viewers of this video will see the many ways liquids, like the...

Surface tension helps us perform some simple—but impressive science. The video presents many experiments to briefly explain surface tension. From the surface tension on milk and coffee to water, the experiments demonstrate the strength...

From a chapter on Fluid Statics in a Physics textbook. This section of the chapter describes the cohesive and adhesive forces in liquids, the role of cohesion in the surface tension of liquids and bubbles, and how capillary action works....

How do cohesion and adhesion work together? The third installment of a nine-part series teaches young scientists the difference between adhesion and cohesion. They also learn how cohesion and adhesion work together to cause capillary...

How do you measure surface tension? The fifth installment of a nine-part series is an experiment where young scientists use tubes of different sizes to measure surface tension. They calculate the average and standard deviation of the...

Use science to help you walk on water! Young scientists explore the properties of liquids including cohesion, adhesion, and surface tension. They use graphs to compare different liquids and make predictions about their molecular attraction.

This is a list of 39 questions covering the concepts presented in Chapter 11: Fluid Statics from the AP Physics online text.

This is a list of 83 problems/exercises to solve based on the content in Chapter ll: Fluid Statics from the AP Physics online text.

Explore capillary action from different perspectives. In the fourth installment of a nine-part series, scholars perform several experiments to observe capillary action. They look at the meniscus of water in a glass, observe capillary...
