• Question: When you put some drops of water on a hot plate why do they move like if they were dancing?

      Cool question! If only I could dance as well as a water drop on a hot plate 🙂

      If the hot plate is really, really hot, then when a drop hits the bottom, it can vaporize so fast and hard that it pushes the droplet back up and off the pan 🙂
