  1. Adventures of Lassie and Willard By: Kristin Dilling and Lexi Best

  2. One day, Lassie and Willard were sitting at home. They decided they wanted to do something fun. Willard suggested they go to the beach. Since they lived right down the road from Myrtle Beach, they walked. They were also ironically studying water in science class, they took their vocabulary words with them to see if they could find examples.

  3. When they got there, they noticed that there was white foam on top of the waves. Lassie down at her paper and identified this as surface tension because that allows the foam to stay on top of the waves. The bubbles form because the gas that makes them is less dense than water.

  4. As they were walking along the beach, their feet started to burn. They walked to the water and stuck their feet in. Lassie wondered why it was so hot on the sand and so cold in the water. Willard said it was because specific heat allows the water to be cooler the its surroundings.

  5. They decided they were tired of working so they wanted to do something fun. “What could we do that is fun?” asked Willard. “ We could walk home and get the beach ball!”Lassie suggested. So they went home and got the beach ball. They ran to the water and started to hit it back and forth. Willard hit the ball a little higher than Lassie could reach so it went behind her. She swam over to get the ball and noticed that water was sticking to the ball. Willard swam over to her and asked what she was looking at and she told him.“ When water sticks to something else, its called adhesion. But when water sticks to other bodies of water, its called cohesion. It also sticks to other bodies because of polarity. Polarity causes it to have a positive and negative charge. When polarity occurs, it also allows hydrogen bonds”, he explained.

  6. “How does the water get from the ground to the sky?” asked Willard. Lassie explained that water can not be created or destroyed. It has to go through a cycle called the water cycle. It starts from the ground then it evaporates and when the clouds are full enough, it rains back down to the ground.

  7. As they were leaving, they realized that their towels were soaking wet. “What makes the water soak up into the towels?”, they both wondered. Its because of capillary action. Capillary action allows water to be sucked up but other things. When water isn't being soaked up, it is mixing with other things because water is the universal solvent.

  8. Fun facts • Roughly 70 percent of an adults body is made of water • At birth, 80 percent of an infants body is water • Somewhere between 70 and 75 percent of the Earth’s surface is water • The U.S uses about 346,000 million gallons of water a day • By the time a person feels thirsty, his or her body has lost over 1 percent of its water • amount in its body
