Cohesion•Attraction between particles of the same substance
- why water is attracted to itself
Results in:Surface tension (a measure of the strength of water’s surface) •surface film on water
-allows insects to walk on the surface of water

Water: Cohesion • Water bugs walk on water • Drops of water on a penny • Bottles don’t overflow immediately• Water “beads” on newly a waxed car

How will this affect your boat?
Cohesive Water molecules will stick together to create surface tension. Therefore - Cardboard should float on the water.
• ALSO:::: Cardboard has a lower DENSITY level than water Objects with less density than water - -- FLOATObjects with more density than water - -- SINK
Density = mass / volume

Adhesion•Attraction between two different substances
- water will bond with other surfaces such as glass, soil, plant tissues, and cotton.
Adhesion results in: Capillary action- Occurs because water is “sticky”.
It’s the flow of liquids through-out a substance - can defy gravity

Capillary Action
- allows water to move through the roots of plants
- allows blood to flow through the tiny vessels in our bodies.
- explains how water moves into a paper towel when cleaning up a spill

How will this affect your boat?
Adhesion• The water molecules
will be attracted to the cardboard and ‘stick’ to it.
Capillary Action • However, because of
capillary action, water will eventually move into the cardboard – hopefully very slowly!!

FIND THE BOAT’S CENTER OF GRAVITY
One last important bit of information!!!
