What's the shape of water? 💧🤔 Have you ever seen an insect walking on water? Or noticed that water can form tiny beads on surfaces? It's true, water has some unusual properties - and both of these observations can be explained by something called 'surface tension'. Watch as mathematician Dr Tom Crawford (@TomRocksMaths) tells us more about this strange phenomenon, and shows us a couple of 'gravity defying' experiments!
