The Wonders of Water

Approximately 80% of the Earth's surface is covered in water. The human body is more than 60% water. That is a lot of H₂O molecules!!

There are many properties that make this chemical unique and vital to all living things.

Watch this Prezi presentation on the amazing properties of water. The presentation was put together by an 8th grade teacher at another school. Disregard the assignment he poses at the end. Just focus on the properties of water.

Next check out these two video clips that show properties of water in action....

Use the information above, your own hands-on experience with water molecules in class today, and any other information you can find on the internet or in your textbooks to write you own post outlining the unique properties of water. Pleas incorporate at least two pieces of multi-media into your write-up (remember, these should enhance your information, not just "make it pretty"!). The post is due by class time on Thursday. Use the comment section below to ask any questions on this assignment. I will get back to you as soon as I can.
