Water & Its Properties!


Water. We all know we need water to survive, but what else does can water have to offer us?
First and foremost, all organisms occur in water. So without water, there wouldn't be any living things.

FUN FACT! 
Humans are made up of 60%-70% of water! Now that's a lot of water!

Water's chemistry structure allows cohesion and adhesion since the H+ is attracted to the O-, which creates a "sticky" molecule. Cohesion occurs due to the H- bonding between the water molecules allows surface tension. Adhesion is the H- bonding between water molecules and other substances, which creates capillary action.

FUN FACT!
Solid water, ice, is able to float due to its low density compared to liquid water!
