Students will engage in a hands on physics experiment using items such as milk, soap, and food coloring/pepper. (Please see material list below.) Class will begin with an engaging question to connect the students. Next, students will discuss and learn about water bugs. Then, a brief physics lesson about the science of surface tension will be taught.
