1. Cohesion
Water molecules will stick to other water molecules, the reason why water forms droplets

2. Cohesion
Question
How is cohesion different from adhesion?

3. Water molecules stick to certain surfaces like glass
Adhesion
Water molecules stick to certain surfaces like glass

4. Adhesion
Question
Give an example of the adhesion of water in your everyday life.

5. Water Molecule
H2O is the chemical formula, this means that each molecule is made up of 2 Hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom

6. Water Molecule
Question
What is a molecule?

7. Polarity
The oxygen end of a water molecule is negatively charged and the hydrogen ends are positively charged; this causes water molecules to stick together (positive to negative)

8. Polarity
Question
How is the polarity of water related to the cohesion of water?

9. Surface Tension
The molecules at the surface of the water "stick together" to form a type of 'skin' on the water, strong enough to support very light objects

10. Surface Tension
Question
How is surface tension of water related to the cohesion of water?

11. Capillary Action
The ability of a narrow tube to draw a liquid upwards against the force of gravity

12. Capillary Action
Question
Describe one practical use of capillary action in your everyday life.

13. Specific Heat
The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 degree Celsius. Water has a high specific heat. It takes a lot of energy to raise the temperature of water.

14. Specific Heat What does it mean that water has a high specific heat?
Question
What does it mean that water has a high specific heat?
