sticky stuff
This is the property where molecules sticks to one another
cohesion
how can you describe what surface tension is?
it creates a “skin” on water’s surface
Does water heat up quickly or slowly?
Slowly, because of its high specific heat.
water is made up of these atoms
1 hydrogen; 2 oxygens
I can speak this language
chinese/mandarin
what is adhesion?
water sticks to other stuff
name an organism that can walk on water
lizard, water strider, some spiders, etc
Why does ice float on water?
Ice is less dense than liquid water because its molecules spread out when frozen.

through this property, plants can get water
capillary action
surface tension arises because of this property of water
cohesion
what does high specific heat capacity mean
water can absorb a lot of heat before it gets hot.
name at least one factor that impacts the distribution of freshwater sources
1) climate change 2) human activity 3) natural variability
this was the reason Jamuna got surgery on her right foot
I stepped out of a car :(
Explain how cohesion and adhesion work together in capillary action.
Adhesion causes water to stick to the surface and cohesion pulls other water molecules along with it, helping it move upward against gravity.
Why can a paper clip float on water even though it’s made of metal and is denser than water?
surface tension!
You're cooking pasta and leave a metal spoon in the boiling water. The spoon gets hot, but the water temperature doesn't rise quickly. Why?
Metal heats quickly because it has low specific heat, but water has a high specific heat, so it resists temperature changes even when heated.
estimate the percentage of freshwater vs. ocean water on Earth
about 96.5% ocean water, 2.5% freshwater
what two concerts did Jamuna attend
Kendrick & SZA, and The Weeknd
explain the property(s) of water involved when you spill water and use a paper towel to soak it up.
Adhesion causes water to stick to the paper fibers, and cohesion pulls more water molecules along as the towel absorbs the liquid.
How might adding soap impact the surface tension of water?
Soap would disrupt the cohesive forces between water molecules, weakening surface tension.
How do fish stay alive in the winter?
Ice floats and forms an insulating layer, keeping water beneath from freezing and allowing them to survive.
Why is clean water access a global issue?
Without clean water, people face more health issues, dehydration, and poor sanitation.
I am older than my twin
Idk... lol :-)
