  1. Water and Solutions Is water in all living things? What is it doing there?

  2. Water is the building block of life! • Water (H2O) Makes up seventy percent of our bodies • Every cell has water in it • Water is the medium though which most cellular activity takes place

  3. What are the properties of water • Storage of energy –why is it important? • Water helps absorb heat more slowly than other substance do ... heat is energy. • What does water help organisms do? • Therefore water helps us keep and use energy more efficiently

  4. What are the properties of water • How does water help cells maintain homeostasis? • the maintenance of a constant internal state in a changing environment • Through the absorption of heat allows people to maintain bodily temperature and homeostasis through perspiration (Sweating)

  5. Cohesion • How do hydrogen bonds between water molecules create cohesion? • Cohesion is an attraction between like substances • The force that holds molecules of a single material together • What does cohesion help form? • Cohesion help form bond that make drops or a thin film • What does surface tension do? • Surface tension prevents water from stretching and breaking easily.(remember how a drop of water can move or roll around, but remain a drop of water.)

  6. Adhesion • What is it? • Is an attraction between different substances • What is capillary action? • Capillary action is the process through which a water molecule move upward through a narrow tube, such as a plant stem • Do plants need adhesion? YES! • Adhesion and capillary action is that main way a pant gains its water and nutrition

  7. Solution • What is it? • A solution is a mixture in which one or more substances are evenly distributed • Because many substances dissolve in water they can be easily moved or used by living organisms like people and plants

  8. Acids and Bases • What is an acid? • Any compound that increase the number of hydronium ions when dissolved in water. (h+) • lemon juice, vinegar, wine and batteries are all example of things that are acidic • What is the pH scale?

  9. Acids and Bases • What is a base? • Compounds that reduces the hydrogen ions in a solution is called bases • Milk, Antacid, Soap, Ammonia • What is the pH scale? • The pH scale is based on the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. • Ranging from 0 to 14 with acidic solutions being below 0 -7 and a basic solutions a pH value above 7-14 and pure water is neutral at 7

  10. Agenda • Create a graphic organizer for the following words: • cohesion • adhesion • solution • acid • base. • Hint: Use your text to help define the words.
