Water Worksheet

This document contains a worksheet with questions about the properties of water. Students are asked to draw the water molecule and hydrogen bonds, and show how water molecules bond together. They are to define polar molecule, hydrogen bonds, cohesion and adhesion. Students are also asked how properties of water like cohesion, adhesion and hydrogen bonding relate to observations from a previous "Drops on a Penny" activity. Additionally, questions address how water properties help maintain ocean temperatures, prevent overheating in organisms, and why change in density when freezing is important.

Water Worksheet
PART 2: Water Worksheet- Use a biology textbook to answer the following questions.
1. Draw a molecule of water below. Include the type of bonds between the
hydrogen atoms and the oxygen atom. Make sure you show where all of the
electrons go.

2. Define polar molecule-

3. Define hydrogen bonds-

4. Draw at least three water molecules, and show the way that they bond together.

5. Define cohesion and give at least one example of how cohesion is important to
the survival of living organisms.

6.

Define adhesion and give at least one example of how adhesion is important to
living organisms.

7. Describe how numbers 2, 3, 5, and 6 relate to your observations on the Drops on
a Penny activity.

8.

Based on your response to #17, from Part 1, and the information you have now
learned about water, what do you think that the soap was doing to the water that
caused the results we observed? Be as specific as possible!

9. How do the properties of water help oceans to maintain a relatively stable


temperature? Why is this so important?

10. How do the properties of water help prevent organisms from overheating? (Hint:
Be sure to include sweating in humans and panting in dogs in your answer)

11. Explain what happens to the density of liquid water when it freezes, and explain
why this is so important to organisms that live in bodies of water that freeze.
