2A30.13 Surface Tension Boats

A crystal of camphor is attached to the back of a small boat.

The components for a surface tension boat demo appear in this photo: a bottle of water, a stoppered bottle of camphor, a small tray with a raised rim, a pair of tweezers, and a tiny, lightweight metal 'boat'.

 

This close-up of the tiny boat shows a minuscule crystal of camphor stuck to the boat's stern.
