RJ‚ MO | Penny Drop
This penny wasn't very good at holding water. It only held 17 drops. But the nickel was better. This nickel was better than any other nickel.


Shayndn‚ WI | Penny Drop
I got 14 drops. It was actually pretty cool!


mika‚ WA | Penny Drop
I tried it with water and a quarter.It worked the same as the penny .I also tried it with oil.It worked too! Now milk wouldn't do the job.I thought iced tea might work and it did‚but a quarter held 35 drops.I wonder why. Also if you spill all of it pours off.Thanks for the idea! -mika

I tried water and canola oil. The coins always held more water than oil. The bigger the coin‚ the more water drops it held. The silver dollar held 85 drops of water!

Kute_Penguin‚ U.S.A | Penny Drop
it was hard but as you all maybe guess that the water could stay on the penny longer then others. So there you got it! if you could think of any other way then great fine! It...this was a great experiment! =) :) ;)!!!!!!!!!!

Emily‚ AL | Penny Drop

jallli‚ CA | Penny Drop
nice project u should add more details


Karen‚ IL | Penny Drop
The drops of water stay on the penny because the water molecue sticks together better than alcohol. By the ways‚ the highest I got was 45. It depends how much you eye dropper drops.


Dustin‚ MI | Penny Drop
