1. Properties of Water
Discuss the special properties of water that contribute to Earth's suitability as an environment for life: cohesive behavior, ability to moderate temperature, expansion upon freezing, and versatility as a solvent.

2. Properties of Water
Objective: Explain how the polarity of a water molecule contributes to its unique properties.
Essential question: How are the unique properties of water contributed to polarity and hydrogen bonding?

3. Investigate Fill a clean, soap-free bowl with water.
See if you can get 3 paper clips to float on top of the water. Keep the fourth paperclip out of the cup.
What happens if you just drop it? How did you get them to float?

5. Four Properties of Water
Cohesive Behavior (cohesion & Adhesion)
Ability to moderate temperature
Expanding upon freezing (density)
Universal solvent

6. 1. Cohesive Behavior: Cohesion
Water is highly cohesive
Co= together
ex: cooperate, covalent etc.
“hesion”= to stick
Cohesion is the attraction of water molecules to stick together
Cohesion allows for water to have surface tension
Ex. Water striders don’t break the high surface tension of water, allowing them to stay on the surface

7. 1. Cohesive Behavior: Adhesion
Adhesion is the attraction of water molecules to another substance.
Ad=another
Adhesion allows for capillary action, which allows water to move against the force of gravity
How does water get to the top of the tree if I only watered the soil?

8. Practice with Adhesion & Cohesion (whiteboard)
What property of water does this each picture represent? 1. 2. 3.

9. 2. Ability to Moderate Temperature
It takes a lot of energy to change the temperature of water.
High heat capacity
In the picture, what is going to heat up and cool down faster? Land or water?

10. 3. Expanding Upon freezing
Density is how tightly packed the atoms in a substance are
1. Objects with greater/more density will sink.
2. Objects with smaller/less density will float.
As a solid (ice), water molecules spread out, leaving more space between them and decreasing the density. This is why ice floats!

11. 4. Universal Solvent
Water is called the universal solvent because it can dissolve almost anything
Solvent: usually a liquid; dissolves the other substance
Solute: usually a solid; what is being dissolved
Solution: a homogeneous mixture (looks the same throughout); formed when one substance dissolves in another

12. Universal solvent
Water is a great solvent because the positive and negative ends act like magnets that pull apart other substances
like dissolves like, water dissolves other polar molecules
We know that water dissolves sugar, but that it doesn’t dissolve oil. What can we conclude about the sugar and oil molecules??
Since water is polar and it dissolves sugar, the sugar molecule must be polar.
Since water doesn’t dissolve oil, the oil molecule must be nonpolar

13. Why does water have these unique properties?
Water molecules’ Structure!!!

14. What is the Structure of a Water Molecule?
1. Water is composed of 1 oxygen atom and 2 hydrogen atoms.
2. The oxygen has a negative charge and the hydrogen has a positive charge.
3. The hydrogen atoms are always in the “ear” position.
Draw this in your notes with the charges

15. Why is water polar? Polarity- The state of having 2 opposite ends
water is polar Since opposites attract each other, the negative end of one oxygen atom will be near the positive ends of 2 hydrogen atoms
O and H are bonded to form one water molecule with slightly (+) and (-) ends (polar covalent bonds)
What else has a positive and negative end?
When do we use the word polar?

16. How does this contribute to waters properties?
Water's polarity allows it to dissolve other polar substances very easily. When a polar substance is put in water, the positive ends of its molecules are attracted to the negative ends of the water molecules, and vice versa.
The polarity of water allows water to form Hydrogen Bonds

17. What is Hydrogen Bonding?
The bond between the oxygen (O) and Hydrogen (H) atoms of different water molecules and other polar molecules
The positive H is attracted to the negative O of other water molecules.
Hydrogen bonds are weak allowing water to move and reform bonds often
If H2O is the formula for water, what is the formula for ice?
H2O cubed. 

18. Revisit the floating paperclip
What property is causing them to float?
What is allowing for that property to exist?
Predict what will happen if you add soap to your cup
Try floating a paper clip now that the water has soap in it. What happens?

19. Key Points
The unique structure of the water molecule determines it’s unique properties.
Polarity and Hydrogen Bonding allow for properties of water

20. A B D C Practice Which diagram of a water molecule is correct?

M- remain seated in your assigned seat
P- work with your partner to complete activity (17 min)
Success!

23. Summary (write on the right side of your journal)
The four properties of water are _______________, ______________, ______________ and _______________. Cohesive behavior includes both _______________ and ______________. They are similar because _______________________. However, cohesion and adhesion differ because ____________________. All four of these unique properties of water can be contributed to the shape of the water molecule. The shape is caused by ______________ which is _______________. That allows for _________________________ to form between water molecules. These bonds allow for water molecules to move and reform new bonds easily.

24. Exit Ticket
Clear your desk of everything but a writing utensil

25. What type of bond takes place between adjacent water molecules?
Covalent bond
Ionic bond
Hydrogen bond
Water bond

26. The ability for life to survive underneath a frozen lake is made possible by
Ice being more dense than water
Ice being less dense than water
Ice being colder than water
Ice being harder than water

27. Why is water such a great universal solvent?
Because the positive and negative charges pull apart other molecules
Because water in its solid state in denser than in the liquid state
Because the hydrogen atoms on a water molecule have a positive charge
Because water is considered non-polar.

31. Properties of Water: day 2
Discuss the special properties of water that contribute to Earth's suitability as an environment for life: cohesive behavior, ability to moderate temperature, expansion upon freezing, and versatility as a solvent.

32. Properties of water day 2
Objective: List and describe how each of the four properties of water make it essential for life on Earth.
Essential Question: How do the unique properties of water allow life to exist on Earth?

34. Remember….
All properties of water are caused by Polarity and Hydrogen Bonding
Hydrogen Bonding- the positive hydrogen of one molecules attracts to the negative oxygen of another water molecule
Polarity- having two opposite ends; positive (+) hydrogen and negative (-) oxygen

35. Why is water’s cohesive behavior important to life?
COHESION: water molecules stick together
Surface tension causes water to clump in drops rather than spreading out in a thin layer
Allows very light insects to walk on water
ADHESION: water molecules stick to another substance
Capillary action–allows water to move through plant roots and stems and the smallest blood vessels in your body
as one molecule moves up the tree root or through the capillary, it 'pulls' the others with it

36. Why does water density impact life?
Density is how tightly packed together molecules are in a substance
solid ice is LESS dense than liquid water due to expanding when freezing
Floating ice will keep the water underneath warm
This allows fish and other organisms to survive in the winter.
What would happen to the pond life if solid ice was more dense?

37. Why is water’s ability to moderate temp important to life?
Water’s ability to moderate temperature can protect an ecosystem from extreme temperature differences
Remember it takes a lot of energy to heat water!

38. Why is water’s solubility important to life?
 The dissolving power of water is very important for life on Earth
Works like a magnet to pull apart other polar substances
Wherever water goes, it carries dissolved chemicals, minerals, and nutrients that are used to support living things

39. KEY POINT
ALL living things need water to survive!
