glass test tube<br />

hot plate (optional)<br />

salt (optional)<br />

a strip of jeans<br />

paper strip with a marker dot<br />

wax paper<br />

Procedures:<br />

Write a hypothesis for each of the following water concepts:<br />

To do this you need to pick a specific substance from the materials list to test for each<br />

hypothesis. You should have eight hypotheses. For example, one hypothesis might be: If<br />

the substance used is the penny then the water will group together and show surface<br />

tension.<br />

After getting approval for all of your hypotheses you will need to write your procedures. It<br />

may help you to look at the data table.<br />

Observations/Data:<br />

Check the appropriate box if the listed property occurred in your experiment. Polar or Non-Polar<br />

must be selected for each investigation.<br />
