Travelling Water 🧵

Can you make water travel down a piece of string?

Tap to start!

Use string made of wool to get the best effect. This activity is best done outside or use a tray, as it can get messy!

Water molecules are adhesive — they stick to each other and to wet surfaces. Gravity pulls them down the wet string into the second glass!

This activity teaches children that water is sticky due to hydrogen bonds. They'll love the magic of water defying expectations!
