Welcome to another edition of Science Sunday. Did you know water is sticky? No, not like what we normally think of as sticky (candy, glue, slime). One of the really amazing properties of water is surface tension, it really likes to stick to itself. You may have noticed the last time it rained, water droplets would bead up on your window and then slide off. There are some really cool experiments we encourage you to try at home that demonstrate this amazing property of water. Watch the full Science Sunday segment below to learn more.
There is so much more Science Sunday to explore. Check out the full gallery of segments on our blog: https://ctsciencecenter.org/blog_categories/science-sunday/.
