This lesson will provide an understanding of the chemical and physical nature of water. It is 1 of 4 in the series titled "The Properties of Water."

Given scenarios, descriptions, or illustrations, the student will determine the properties of water that affect chemical and biological systems.

A brief introduction to the molecular structure of a water molecule, and the chemical bonding which gives it its unique properties.

Surface tension accounts for many of the interesting properties we associate with water. By learning about surface tension and adhesive forces, students learn why liquid jets of water break into droplets rather than staying in a...
