Amusing Surface Tension Experiment

The video explores a science experiment using a clicky pen spring in water. Initially, the spring floats due to surface tension, as the tightly bonded H2O molecules create a net on the water's surface. The video humorously explains the concept of surface tension and how soap can disrupt it by breaking hydrogen bonds, causing the spring to sink.
