BlackAndWhite on Instagram: "Surface tension is a physical phenomenon that occurs due to the cohesive forces between liquid molecules at the surface. In a liquid, molecules attract each other equally in all directions, but those at the surface experience an imbalance—they are pulled inward by neighboring molecules but not outward by the air above. This creates an invisible “film” at the surface that resists external force and minimizes the liquid’s surface area. Surface tension explains why smal

Science on Instagram: "The lifecycle of a mosquito has four stages and is called a complete metamorphosis: 1. Egg – Female mosquitoes lay eggs on the surface of stagnant water. 2. Larva – Eggs hatch into larvae (“wrigglers”) that live in water, breathe air, and feed on microorganisms. 3. Pupa – Larvae develop into pupae (“tumblers”), which do not feed but remain active while transforming. 4. Adult – The adult mosquito emerges from the pupa, rests briefly on the water surface, then flies away. 👉
