Surface Tension Steven Brignol Dr. Payne September 15 Introduction: Water’s ability to stick to itself is surface tension. In this lab we were able to measure and detect surface tension by dropping water‚ drop by drop‚ onto a penny. The quantity of droplets that fit on the penny was impressive.

There were 3 main experiments that were conducted in the 19th century. The first experiment was conducted in 1928 by Frederick Griffiths. He was able to establish that there is a substance being transmitted from one generation to another. For this experiment Griffiths used two types of pneumococcus bacteria (the bacteria that is responsible for causing pneumonia). He used the smooth strain (S) which had an outer capsule that acts as a protective shield from the host’s immune system and rough strain
