Overview

This experiment will show you how water molecules stick together and how water will travel uphill to keep flowing whenever possible. The string in this experiment acts just like the xylem in plants - allowing the water to fill in the spaces between the string fibers. Watch as water transfers itself from a beaker filled with water, through a string, and into a dry beaker.
