What is Surface Tension?!
Water molecules want to cling to each other. At the very surface of the water, there are less molecules to cling to, so the bond between the top water molecules are stronger.
This creates a film on the top of the water called surface tension. Small objects can float carefully on the surface of this film.
Check out this video on some super short, easy science experiments involving surface tension:
