Why does the water not leak from a styrofoam cup poked with a pin?
When the pin is pushed into the cup the polystyrene (Styrofoam) is temporarily pushed aside. When the pin is withdrawn the polystyrene reforms largely to its original location. If a drill was used, the same diameter as the pin and material was actually removed the cup would leak. Also the water tension of the water in front of a hole the size of a pin would prevent the water from leaking out.
How do you explain surface tension to a child?
To *demonstrate*, float a dressmaker's pin or a needle on water. If you can do it safely, you can also float an old-fashioned razor blade. Then just tap them and sink them. That should get the conversation going.... ... and you can even have fun dragging them around the container with a magnet, plus - if you magnetise the pin/needle - you've got a rudimantary compass. p.s. the reason you get badly injured/ killed falling from altitude into water *is not* surface tension - pleeassse don't spread that myth!
