Floating+Metal?

You can amke metal float on water! Although it seems impossible, the surface tension on water can keep metal from sinking.

To make metal float on water you need:
 * a paperclip
 * a glass of water
 * a small piece of paper towel

Directions:
 * 1) Fill the glass with water.
 * 2) Lay a small torn off piece of paper towel on the surface of the water.
 * 3) Gently place a paperclip on the paper towel.
 * 4) Watch patiently.
 * 5) The paper towel will eventually sink to the bottom of the glass, but the paperclip will stay resting on the water.
