How to separate the pepper from the water, step by step
1. Take a deep dish and fill it with water.
2. Next take a pot of black pepper and sprinkle a little on the water. If you introduce a finger you will see that the pepper does not move.
3. Now put some hand soap on your finger.
4. If you put your finger with soap in the water you will see how the pepper moves away from the center of the plate.
This is because the pepper floats on the surface of the water where there is a firmer layer of water called surface tension. When the soap is introduced, the surface tension decreases in the center causing the pepper to flee.
