Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

What a fresh approach to learning about water! Chef Jamika Pessoa explains the chemical composition of this vital compound, what happens when heat is added or removed, and how much water is contained in different organs and organisms. Fraction graphics appear on the screen as she cuts vegetables and a bar graph is displayed as she talks about the percent water contained in different foods. This cooking demo is a terrific choice to add to your arsenal of water resources!
