You can make the paper clip float without the paper, but its harder to try it that way. Using paper towel helps the paper clip float with surface tension. Surface tension is a thin sheet or skin formed by water. Surface tension tightly holds the water molecules together. Thus, if the surface tension of the water remains undisturbed, it will be able to support the paper clip. Thus, the paper clip is not actually floating, it is simply being held on the water surface due to surface tension. thanks Ken
Good Morning Janice, The paper towel helps create surface tension. You can do this without a paper towel, but it is a lot harder. Surface tension is a thin sheet or skin formed by water. Where it tightly holds the water molecules together. So the paper towel gives a little more time for the paper clip to not sink and be held by the waters surface tension. thanks Ken
Hi Manyunsa Mukosayi, Paper towels are made out of finely divided fibers of cellulose, the principal structural chemical in cotton, wood, and most other plants. Cotton is actually a polymer, which like any other plastic is a giant molecule consisting of many small molecules linked together in an enormous chain or treelike structure. When water molecules stick to other materials (paper towel), it’s called adhesion. You can think of this also as absorption. We can see this when we put the paper towel on top of the water. Now that the paper towel has absorbed the water it's more dense and sinks. Thanks Ken
Good morning Oni Animations, Great question. I'm not sure but now you have me thinking. I will give it a try and let you know. thanks for the suggestion Ken
Good Morning Sasywasy YT, Sorry to hear it didn't work. I would like to see if I can help you get it to work. If you could send me a video to elementarysciencenight@gmail.com that would help me to see how you are trying this experiment. If you can't email me, then please answer these questions? How big is your paperclip? Are you using a paper towel to float on top of the water? When you place the paper clip on the paper towel does it sink right away? Or does the paper towel and the paper clip just float? Please explain a little more on what is not working? I know we can get it to work for you. thanks Ken
Sorry to hear it didn't work. Let me try to help get it to work. Lightly touch the corner of the paper towel to help it sink. Also see if the paper towel has 2 layers. If so peel off one layer. Let me know if that helps? Thanks Ken

Very nice experiment, like 31
good video!
Good Morning SKIDROW, thank you very much and thanks for watching Ken
Good
Thank you
Why do we need to put the needle on to the slip of paper? What property of water that makes a needle float?
You can make the paper clip float without the paper, but its harder to try it that way. Using paper towel helps the paper clip float with surface tension. Surface tension is a thin sheet or skin formed by water. Surface tension tightly holds the water molecules together. Thus, if the surface tension of the water remains undisturbed, it will be able to support the paper clip.

@@KidsFunScience I got it now, thank you!
Module is the reason why I'm here
Good Morning Ericka, I'm glad your here and hope you enjoyed this experiment. thanks Ken
This is cool but can I know why needed to used paper towel ?

@@KidsFunScience thankyouuuuu!!
Basically, the water is just being hulk
Morning Arrowhacks12 lol yes. thx Ken
What makes the filter paper to sink

How many paperclips can float in the cup
Good morning Oni Animations, Great question. I'm not sure but now you have me thinking. I will give it a try and let you know. thanks for the suggestion Ken
you sound like steveo
اللي جاي من استاذ محمد لايك
HI Zewqf Xxed, Your Professor does this experiment also? that is good. Sorry if I miss understood what you said. thanks Ken
Im 5 and this was not fun
Doesn't work

I tried using another paperclip and it worked Kids Fun Science!
@@KidsFunScience it doesn’t work for me I place the paper towel then the paper clip but the paper towel doesn’t sink

@@KidsFunScience I got it but I had to use a diffrent paper clip to lower the other paper clip to the surface of the water
it is facke
Morning Sophia, Sorry it's not fake, its Science!
