Essential Question:
-What are the three properties of water?

13. Objectives 1/26/2012
TSW understand three different properties of water.
Cohesion
Adhesion
Surface Tension

14. Cohesion
The ability of water molecules to stick to other water molecules is known as cohesion.
Puddles of water on a flat surface
Cohesion is responsible for the tension on the surface of water that permits you to fill a glass with water beyond the top.

15. Adhesion
The ability of water molecules to stick to other types of molecules.
Water droplets on a car windshield

16. Surface Tension
The pull on the surface of liquids caused by the attraction of the molecules to one another.
Surface Tension makes it seem that there is a thin, elastic cover on the liquid.
It allows insects to walk on water.

17. Buoyancy The upward force on an object in a liquid or gas.
Buoyancy allows boats to float and makes a rock feel lighter in water than in air.
Buoyancy- if an object pushes
away more water weight than
its own weight then the object
will float.

18. density
Amount of matter present in a given volume D=m/v Styrofoam metal

19. Capillary action Rise of a liquid through a tiny opening or tube
Capillary action gives
plants the ability to
absorb water from the
ground.

24. Specific Heat Specific heat is another physical property of matter.
The temperature of matter is a direct measure of the motion of the molecules: The greater the motion the higher the temperature:
The energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of any substance 1 degree Celsius.
