1.Write down all the uses for water you can think of.

Objectives: SWBAT

□Identify the three properties of water and explain water’s importance in life.

RECALL…• What is the chemical symbol for water?

H2O

• What is water made of?

Hydrogen and Oxygen

Shared electrons

Hydrogen Hydrogen

Oxygen

Water & Its Importance• Water is perhaps

the most important compound in living organisms.

• Water makes up 70% – 95% of most organisms.

Take Notes!

Why is water so important?

Water makes up 70% – 95% of most organisms

Topic: Properties of Water

Water Is Polar• Sometimes, when

atoms form bonds, they do not share the electrons equally. This is called a polar bond.

• A polar molecule is a molecule with an unequal distribution of charge; that is, each molecule has a positive end and a negative end. – Ex: water

Sugar Molecules Dissolving

Water can dissolve many compounds, such as salt, and many other polar molecules, such as sugar.

Water has surface tension

• Water molecules also attract each other (hydrogen bonding)

Floating on water Capillary action

Fresh morning dew on a Water Horsetail 

Surface tension prevents a coin from sinking: the coin is denser than water, so it cannot be floating due to buoyancy alone.

Water Resists Temperature Changes

Water resists changes in temperature. Therefore, water requires more heat to increase its temperature than do most other common liquids.

Why does ice float?

Why do roads crack in places with cold winters?

Why do bottles/cans filled with water sometimes explode after sitting in the freezer?

Water Expands When It FreezesIce is less dense than liquid water so it floats as it forms in a body of water.

Take Notes!

Why is water so important?

Water makes up 70% – 95% of most organisms

1. Water is polar (has a + and - end)

2. Water resists temperature changes

3. Water expands when it freezes

Topic: Properties of Water

Unique properties of water

How do living things use water?

- Maintaining temperature- Transportation in the body- Dissolving things (ex: sugars)- Digesting food, breathing, and lubricating joints

• HYDROPHOBIC- water hating, when water (polar) is combined with a non polar substance

Example- drops of water on a leafOR oil in water

• HYDROPHILIC – water loving, when water (polar) is combined with a polar substance

Example- Food, Sugars

1. Water is made from 2 different elements: positively charged _____________ and negatively charged _____________.

2. Water’s ___________ is what makes the molecules clump together into round drops and also causes the skin, or _________________ that forms on the surface of water.
