2	10/14/2014 18:51:15	Tayler	Hickland	5	I imagine that the surface will hold only one layer of paper clips. From what I can see, the beaker looks pretty small, and I am guessing the surface area is only large enough for about 5 paperclips.
3	10/14/2014 18:49:47	Denise	Randol	8	The paper clip's wire design does not displace as much water as a solid plane.
4	10/14/2014 18:49:59	garry	joseph	8	about 8 can cling to the surface of the water
5	10/14/2014 18:51:53	celby	ruiz	8	the water is almost at its tipping point. and the beaker does not have have a big surface left
6	10/14/2014 18:50:07	Alanna	Martin	10	I believe surface tension will be able to hold the water together/ in the beaker.
7	10/14/2014 18:50:53	Henrik	Mouradian	11	the water level is very high and I don't think that it will hold more than 11 paper clip.
8	10/14/2014 18:49:25	J	P	15	it looks pretty close to overflowing already... so i think it won't take too many
9	10/14/2014 18:51:19	Stephanie	Robinson	15	The beaker is not very large, however surface tension will keep it from overflowing early on.
10	10/14/2014 18:51:43	Dana	Moore	29	the surface tension will not be able to support more than 28 paper clips
11	10/14/2014 18:51:59	Patti	Wilson	42	The water molecules will create a bubble of surface tension
12	10/14/2014 18:51:16	Kathy	Gumber	45	paper clips are thin, don't displace a lot of water per clip. Surface tension will help to keep the water from spilling
13	10/14/2014 18:51:30	Maria	Avila	45	The soap will form a stronger surface tension on the top of the beaker
14	10/14/2014 18:49:06	Megan	Whitaker	50	The paper clips are flat and don't have a large volume so you should be able to put lots of them in the beaker before it overflows.
15	10/14/2014 18:50:58	Diane	Fisher	52	I figured it'd be a lot, or you wouldn't be asking. Also, water has a high surface tension. I'll bet you could get even more if you chose glassware without a pour spout.
16	10/14/2014 18:52:07	Darshana	Vakharia	70	The water has great cohesion (adhesive) characteristic and will therefore take long to overflow
17			average	28
18			actual	130	surpassed all predictions!!
