The coin experiment


Ten cent coin experiment - written by Antonia
Goal: see how many drops of water you can fit on a ten-cent coin.
Equipment: eyedropper, 10 cent coin, container lid, and water.

  1. Get a 10 cent coin and put it on a container lid.
  2. Fill the eyedropper with water.
  3. Drop by drop put the water on the ten-cent coin and record how many drops of water you got and write it down.

I wonder how much water would fit on a 20 or 50 cent coin.
I noticed that when we pushed the eyedropper the water built up, not to the sides, it formed like a bubble of water on top of it.  

Pātai/Questions
What did you notice? 
What do you think happened? 
What do you wonder?
