In the Sink or Swim experiment, you'll learn how adding one variable to water will change the amount of surface tension the water has. You'll see that anything you add to water can quickly affect whether something sinks or swims. Want more experiments like this?

The real difficulty in performing this effect is making it look harder than it is! As you might imagine, the secret lies in yet another amazing property of water. Instead of using a paper bag, this modern day version of the demonstration uses an ordinary balloon, some water, and a candle. It's a combination that's guaranteed to make people stand back.
