My daughter is doing a science experiment on surface tension (third grade science fair). Website explaining surface tension are too complicated. Anyone have a good explanation of what it is and how it would apply to why bubbles form?

Parents are expected to assist to some extent because they are not actually studying the topics in class. I mainly was looking for a source that she could look up and find an answer written in a simplified form. And this is her first science fair. The teacher did not even explain the difference between the question and the hypothesis.

The best thing you can do for your daughter is to let her do her project all by herself, good or bad. All you need to do is to make sure she does it. Let her explore this topic on her own and just do the best she can. That is the best education you can do for her. Let he deal with the learning anxiety and learn to cope with it and excel at learning new and unknown things. You are doing her a disservice by helping her too much.
