Science of Everything by National Geographic

This document is an excerpt from a book chapter about how things work in our world. It discusses the science behind everyday phenomena like how soap works to remove dirt from surfaces. Soap molecules have one water-loving "head" and one grease-loving "tail," allowing them to bond to both water and dirt particles. When agitated in water, the dirt particles detach from surfaces and bond to the soap instead, then rinse away.
