Answer:

Water molecules are strongly attracted to each other and stick close together. This creates a strong but flexible "skin" on the water's surface called surface tension. Surface tension allows the cardboard boat to float on top of the water.

Adding soap disrupts the arrangement of the water molecules. The water molecules near the detergent are attracted to the detergent as well as to other water molecules, so the surface tension of the water behind the boat decreases. Water molecules move from areas of low surface tension to areas of high surface tension. The boat is pulled towards areas of high surface tension by the water in front of the boat.
