Do Now - 9/13 - Science - Water Properties

Why does water move from the roots to the leaves of plants?

• Water is pushed by solutes
• Capillary action pulls the water molecules like a chain
• Water is pulled by gravity
• Water’s cohesion causes it to “pull” towards the leaves

The ability of water molecules to stick to each other, creating surface tension is called:

• Cohesion

• Adhesion

• Insulation

• Ph

Which statement explains why water molecules stick together?

• both sides are negative
• one side has a positive charge and the other side has a negative charge
• one side has a negative charge adn the other side has a neutral charge
• both sides are positive

What word describes when water is attracted to other substances?

• cohesion
• adhesion
• capillary action
• surface tension

What is the term for water's ability to defy gravity and climb up a tube?

• Capillary Action

• Specific Heat

• Universal Solvent

• Magic

Water sticks well to many materials. What term relates to this property of water?

• cohesion

• adhesion

• density

• surface tension

Water is polar. What does that mean?

• it is a molecule with opposite charges on opposite ends

• it is a molecule with no charge

• it is a molecule with identical charges on opposite ends

• it is a molecule with too many protons
