February 7 Water Lab Make-Up
2
Instructions Follow the PowerPoint Click on the links to see the video demo for each topic Answer the questions Try some of these at home, if you can.
3
Properties of Water Important Terms: Capillary Action Heat Capacity Polarity Adhesion Cohesion
4
Adhesion Sticks to something else
5
Cohesion Sticks to itself
6
Capillary Action Capillary Action is the ability of a liquid to flow against gravity. Make a hypothesis about what you think will happen. Video: The Tissue Bridge Where is each occurring in the demo? Adhesion? Cohesion?
7
How Water Works Answer the viewing questions on the Properties of Water worksheet as you watch Video: How Stuff Works – Water ~35 min long More difficult alternate: Look up the answers online
8
Heat Capacity Heat capacity is how much heat is needed to raise the temperature of a substance by 1˚ C For example:
9
Heat Capacity Honolulu, Hawaii – High (Feb 5, 2014): 78 F (12:53 PM) – Low (Feb 5, 2014): 68 F (12:53 AM) – Past 10 days: ~10 degree difference Yuma, AZ – High (Feb 5, 2014): 70 F (1:57 PM) – Low (Feb 5, 2014): 53 F (11:57 PM) – Past 10 days: ~20-30 degree difference
10
Heat Capacity Video: Balloons on Fire Which has a greater heat capacity: – Air or water? Why? What evidence is there to back up your conclusion?
11
Surface Tension How many drops can you fit on a penny? Video: Penny What shape does the water make? Try a penny smeared with dish soap Video: Penny with Soap
12
Surface Tension Water Strider (Yes, it’s that guy from Top Gear.) In Spaaaaaaace – Where do you see adhesion? – Where do you see cohesion?
13
Polarity Water Bending Rub a balloon on the cloth. Hold the balloon to a trickle of water. What happens? Why does the water move towards the balloon (or PCV pipe)?
