  1. Mrs. McAven 8th Grade Science Riverwood Middle School Unique Properties of Water

  2. Properties of Water What are some characteristics that make you different from everybody else? Maybe you can play basketball really well, or have a freckle on the tip of your elbow, or maybe you can draw better than anybody else you know. It may seem strange, but each substance in the world has special characteristics that make it different from every other substance. Just like you, they have characteristics, or properties, that make them unique. Believe it or not, water has some of the most unique properties of all!

  3. Buoyancy • Capillary action • Specific heat • Density • Surface tension • Polarity • Universal solvent • Adhesion • Cohesion VOGO

  4. Side 1 WORD Side 2 Definition • Example/Sentence • Picture Where can I find these words? Chapter 2 (pg. 44) Words: Adhesion Buoyancy Capillary Action Cohesion VOGO Density Polarity Specific Heat Surface Tension Universal Solvent

  5. Water is called the “universal solvent” Definition: • water can dissolve more things than any other substance. Example: • water can dissolve: soap, sugar, salt, toothpaste, baking soda, etc. UNIVERSAL SOLVENT

  6. Definition: • the ability of water molecules to attract to other substances. • Because water molecules are polar (having one positive end and one negative end) they attract other substances. Example: • raindrops sticking to a window or glass • water sticking to cup ADHESION

  7. Definition: • the ability of water molecules to attract towards each other. • Because water molecules are polar (having one positive end and one negative end), they attract each other. Example: • water “dome” • rain drops COHESION

  8. Definition: • when one molecule has opposite charges on each of its ends (one end is slightly positive, the other end is slightly negative). Example: Water (H2O) is a polar molecule because its hydrogen end is slightly positive and its oxygen end is slightly negative. POLARITY

  9. Definition: • the process that moves water through a narrow porous space Example: • water moving up a straw • water moving up a plant stem CAPILLARY ACTION

  10. Definition: • the measure of mass of a substance per unit volume Example: • ice floating on water DENSITY

  11. Definition: • the ability of an object to float in water. Example: • floating in the ocean or a pool • a boat BUOYANCY

  12. The amount of energy it takes to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius • Water has a very high specific heat. • This means that compared to other substances, it takes a big change in energy to change the temperature of water. • Example: The ocean does not drastically change temp. SPECIFIC HEAT

  13. Definition: • the force that acts on the particles at the surface of a material Example: • Water striders (bugs) • painful belly flop SURFACE TENSION

  15. Sink’n Lincoln • Water bug • Water Rope • Iceberg • Shipwreck Unique Properties of Water Mini Labs

  16. Predict how many drops of water you can fit on a penny. • What was the actual number of drops you could fit on the penny? • What property of water allowed you to fit that many drops on the penny? Sink’n Lincoln

  17. Definition: • the ability of water molecules to attract towards each other. • Because water molecules are polar (having one positive end and one negative end), they attract each other. Example: • water “dome” • ADHESION Definition: • the ability of water molecules to attract to other substances. • Because water molecules are polar (having one positive end and one negative end) they attract other substances. Example: • raindrops sticking to a window or glass COHESION

  18. 4. A paper clip is not lighter than water, yet it can stay on top of the water. Explain why this is. 5. Explain what soap would do. Water bug

  19. Definition: • the force that acts on the particles at the surface of a material Example: • Water striders (bugs) • painful belly flop SURFACE TENSION

  20. 6. What is capillary action? How does this help plants? Water Rope

  21. Definition: • the process that moves water through a narrow porous space Example: • water moving up a straw • water moving up a plant stem CAPILLARY ACTION

  22. 7. Why does ice float on top of water? 8. Draw and label a picture ranking the densities of the liquids in the column. Iceberg

  23. Definition: • the measure of mass of a substance per unit volume Example: • ice floating on water DENSITY

  24. 9. Does the density of the boat affect the buoyancy? Buoyancy and the Titanic MythBusters: Water Displacement Ship Wreck

  25. Definition: • the ability of an object to float in water. Example: • floating in the ocean or a pool • a boat BUOYANCY

  26. The water is sticking to the side of the glass. adhesion 2. Water droplets combine together in the atmosphere to make rain drops. cohesion 3. Salt dissolves in water. universal solvent 4. When I dropped a rock in the river, it sank. density 5. On the coast in the summer, the ocean takes a lot longer to heat up than the air and land. specific heat • Water molecules have a positive end and a negative end. polarity Assessment Statements

  27. The suction cup will only stick to the window if I wet it first. • My mom used water to make Gatorade for the team. All of the powder dissolved completely in water. • Water striders are able to walk on water without sinking. • I tried to mix the oil with the water, but no matter what I did the two liquids would not mix. • The window was covered in rain. As the rain ran down the window, the drops came together to make larger drops of water. • Gina’s doctor suggested that she join a water aerobics class for exercise to keep from re-injuring her knee. He told her that the water takes the pressure off of her knee. • The paper towel soaked up the spill in a jiffy. • The log floated down the river. • The blue dye in the water traveled up to the petals of the white flower. • An iceberg floats on water in the Artic. Water Properties Practice

  28. CH.2 section 1 • Read pgs. 46-51 CH. 2 section 2 • Read pgs. 52-57 • Draw a picture of water molecules as a solid, liquid and gas. • Draw a picture representing buoyant force. Read the article and answer the 7 questions. The Properties of Water

  29. What is a dipole? How does water’s dipole molecular structure affect its properties? • Why is water essential to life on earth? Why do scientists credit water with allowing life to form? • How do plants transport water from the roots to the leaves? • How does the Hoover Dam generate electricity? What are the environmental drawbacks of damming a river? • Why does water resist compression? • What is cloud seeding? How does cloud seeding encourage rainfall? How Stuff Works: WATER
