Structure of Water
Cohesion is...........
molecules of different substances stick together
the combined force of attraction among water molecules and with the molecules of surrounding materials.
Water molecules stick together because of their polarity (opposites attract)
Adhesion is............
molecules of different substances stick together
the tightness across the surface of water that is caused by water’s polar molecules pulling on one another.
Water dissolves almost anything except oils and waxes due to its polar nature.
True or False, Capillary action is the combined force of attraction among water molecules and with the molecules of surrounding materials.
True
False
True or False, Surface Tension is Water dissolves almost anything except oils and waxes due to its polar nature.
True
False
Universal Solvent: Water dissolves almost anything except oils and waxes due to its polar nature.
True
False
True or false, Specific Heat: The amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a certain mass of a substance by 1 degree celsius. Water is able to absorb heat because of its strong polarity and cohesion property. Large bodies of water do not show a large change in temperature therefore water moderates the climate by absorbing heat in the summer and slowly releasing that energy in the winter.
True
False
Water's Chemical Properties
You probably know water's chemical description is H20. As the diagram to the left shows, that is one atom of oxygen bound to two atoms of hydrogen. (If the water molecule here looks familiar, remember that everyone's favorite mouse is mostly water, too). The hydrogen atoms are "attached" to one side of the oxygen atom, resulting in a water molecule having a positive charge on the side where the hydrogen atoms are and a negative charge on the other side, where the oxygen atom is. A compound with one negatively charged side and one positively charged side is called a polar molecule. ( Just read it)
I loved to read that
That was boring!
True or False, Specific heat index is water that has a thin “skin” on its surface due to the water molecules sticking together. Because of this surface tension, water tends to clump together in drops rather than spread out in a thin film. Surface tension also allows light objects to float on the surface of water.
True
False
True or False, surface tension. has a thin “skin” on its surface due to the water molecules sticking together. Because of this surface tension, water tends to clump together in drops rather than spread out in a thin film. Surface tension also allows light objects to float on the surface of water.
True
False
Is this right? The stickiness of water is responsible for two other important properties: adhesion and cohesion. Cohesion means that water molecules stick to each other. Adhesion means that water molecules stick to other materials.

Why are wetlands important? ( check all that apply)
Wetlands provide habitats for many living things.
Wetlands do not make water clean
Wetlands are sheltered and are a rich supply of nutrients.
Fish and birds rely on wetlands for food. They also breed and raise their young in wetlands.
Wetlands act as natural water filters. As water collects and slowly filters through wetlands, some pollutants are removed.
Wetlands control floods by absorbing extra runoff from heavy rains.

is the partially enclosed area where freshwater from the river mixes with salt water from the ocean.
a home to lava
chicken nuggets
smaller streams that flow into larger streams
What do you think pollution is?
Pollution is anything in the air, soil, or water that has a negative effect on the environment.
Pollution of all sorts is categorized as point source pollution or nonpoint source pollution.
groundwater levels and fill underground spaces with clean, filtered water.

Monitoring water quality helps keep the water healthy for the plants, animals, and people that live in the watershed. Water-quality monitoring programs are used to find chemical and biological imbalances in water. Scientists take water samples to check the quality and find the imbalances so that they can correct an unhealthy watershed
