In the ocean, water molecules cling together to create waves and currents. Our Marine Science students explored that same cohesion in action during our Water Cohesion Races! Cohesion is the property of water where water molecules are attracted to other water molecules. The hydrogen bonds at the surface of water create a film-like effect, which even allows small insects to walk on water!
