2A 10.40 - Pulsed Water Spout:

Demonstrates: Surface tension.

Description: Water is regularly pulsed out of spouts so as when viewed with a strobe light the shape of the droplets is visible.

2A 10.50 - Soap Bubbles:

Demonstrates: Surface tension as a function of area.

Description: Various wire frames to dropped into soap solution.

2A 10.60 - Soap Bubble Tension:

Demonstrates: The tension of a soap film.

Description: A string in a metal wire frame is inserted into a soap solution, the area in the string is popped and the remaining soap film will pull the string into a circle.
