Surface tension of the water allows for paper clips (higher density than water) to float
PS2.B: Types of Interactions
Prior knowledge & experience:
Paper clips are denser than water. Cohesion force between water molecules allows for paper clips to float.
Root question:
What would happen if a paper clip is dropped into the water?
Target response:
If dropped gently, it can float.
Common Misconceptions:
Paper clips will always sink.
