Science at Home: Gravity-defying Water Experiment

Water is weird! Unlike many other substances it expands when it freezes and shrinks when it warms again. It heats very slowly and cools down just as slowly. Water is composed of two gases yet, strangely, it’s a liquid at room temperature. Here is another strange behavior to add to the list: it appears water may defy gravity! Is it magic? No, just like its other unusual properties, we will observe that there’s always science behind the mystery.
