Hovering Droplets

Sometimes I do an experiment where students add drops of water to a penny to see how many they can fit onto the sirface before it overflows.  This lesson is designed to teach them about surface tension and how the molecules of water cling to each other on the surface of the water.  This time around, I found a video where droplets of water hovered on a dish of water with sound pumped through it.  I was able to duplicate the results with my bass amplifier.


SCIENCE!!!
