In this experiment, you will first demonstrate the strength of the cohesive force of water by floating a metal object on its surface. Then you will test the relative cohesive force of two other liquids by attempting to float the same object and others on them. Before you begin, make an educated guess about the outcome of this experiment based on your knowledge of the properties of water. This educated guess, or prediction, is your hypothesisAn idea in the form of a statement that can be tested by observation and/or experiment..
