Question: Pam sprayed water on her mother's car. The water drops looked just like those she had seen on other surfaces that do not absorb water. What property of water causes the drop to be shaped that way?
Reference answer: Surface tension causes the drop to form a dome or bead shape.

Student answer: The surface is flat so the water beads up.

Student answer: It gets a lot of water and makes a dome.

Student answer: Surface tension.

Student answer: Some forces tension makes the water to slip off the car.

Student answer: The property is maybe the fact that palm held spray bottle right above the car. The closer the spray is to the car the bigger the bead forms.

Student answer: The water sticks together and forms a bubble the water on the outside of the bubble is like skin.

Student answer: The property of the is surface tension.

Student answer: The surface tension holds it like wax paper.

Student answer: The surface tension. Surface tension is holding it up in a bead.

Student answer: The water property is surface tension surface tension holds it together so it does not go flat.

Student answer: The car is hard and the drop will just stay like bead because the drop cannot absorb into metal.

Student answer: Well the property of the water that contains the drop to be shaped that way is called surface tension.

Student answer: Surface tension makes the water bead.

Student answer: When water drops on each other like rain it makes it bead.

Student answer: Surface tension because it didn't absorb so if you put water on a penny, it just bubbles up.

Student answer: The property of water is called surface tension.

Student answer: The property of the water is surface tension.

Student answer: The surface tension.

Student answer: The car is clean so it can bead up.

Student answer: A dome.

Student answer: They get big and smaller then they fall.

Student answer: Surface tension caused the bead of water to be a dome.

Student answer: A dome.

Student answer: Surface tension is what makes the water look that way.

Student answer: There was no surface tension.

Student answer: The property of water that causes the drop to be shaped that way is the temperature of the water.

Student answer: The surface tension of the drop.

Student answer: The surface tension.

Student answer: Surface tension causes the water to be shaped like this.

Student answer: Surface tension allow the drop to stay that way.

Student answer: The shape that causes the drop to look like that is called a dome.

Student answer: Surface tension causes the drop to be shaped that way.

Student answer: It is like a penny you put the water on the penny and it goes up.

Student answer: Surface tension causes the drop to hold in a dome shape will not splatter.

Student answer: Surface tension causes the drop to look that way.

Student answer: Surface tension.

Student answer: Some water drops stay normal and some get water added to the water drops.

Student answer: The car look like a water.

Student answer: Because there is surface tension or skin.

Student answer: Because it is about to go to the grand.

Student answer: Because of surface tension.

Student answer: The surface of the car does not absorb water and it beads up and form a little ball.

Student answer: It looks like a car.

Student answer: There is a type of skin over it and that is why it takes shape of a dome.

Student answer: Because the real rain drop is like that and it turns into a dome.

Student answer: It cannot absorb in the water will make a bubble like shape or surface tension will stick all the water together.

Student answer: Surface tension.

Student answer: Surface area.

Student answer: Surface tension.

Student answer: The surface tension of the car.

Student answer: Plain water like hose water for example will make a dome shape and the surface tension from the car will help make the dome.

Student answer: Surface tension.

Student answer: Surface tension.

Student answer: The property of surface tension.

Student answer: Surface tension.

Student answer: The slipperiness and the wetness.

Student answer: The slipperiness of the surface.

Student answer: Surface tension.

Student answer: I think because of the surface tension.

Student answer: The property of tension.

Student answer: Because car is iron.

Student answer: If they doing like that surface tension.

Student answer: It is the surface tension.

Student answer: Surface tension.

Student answer: Surface tension.

Student answer: Surface temperature.

Student answer: The Surface tension.

Student answer: The surface tension is small.

Student answer: Surface tension.

Student answer: Surface tension.

Student answer: Surface tension.

Student answer: The surface tension in the drop of water.

Student answer: The surface tension.

Student answer: Because when the water hits the surface it gas to that shape.

Student answer: Because it is going down hill?

Student answer: IT just hit the surface.

Student answer: Surface tension.

Student answer: Surface tension.

Student answer: Surface tension.

Student answer: The surface tension makes it like that.

Student answer: Surface tension.

Student answer: Because it is not like waxed paper and cannot be a bead and cannot be absorbed so it has to be like foil.

Student answer: Because the surface is different and that the car is like wax paper.

Student answer: It is the look. Actually it is the surface tension. It is beading.

Student answer: The roof of the window.

Student answer: Because there is surface tension on all flat surfaces, which causes the water to form a dome.

Student answer: There is not anything to break the surface tension.

Student answer: I do not know.

Student answer: Because it is a flat and smooth. And I have seen it on my car.

Student answer: Plain water causes the drop to be shaped this way.

Student answer: Surface tension.

Student answer: Surface tension.

Student answer: Surface tension.

Student answer: Because it is high up and slanted.

Student answer: Because the water is plain if it was soapy it would have been a flat surface.

Student answer: The surface tension makes it hold together like that.

Student answer: Gravity.

Student answer: Surface tension.

Student answer: Surface tension because it is a tight skin around it to hold it together.

Student answer: Surface tension.
