Standards:
SC.912.L.18.12 Discuss the properties of water that contribute to Earth’s suitability as an environment for life: cohesive behavior, ability to moderate temperature, expansion upon freezing, and versatility as a solvent.
Objectives:
1. Students should be able to explain the impact of the properties of water (polarity, solubility, cohesion, adhesion, changes in state, pH) and demonstrate some of these properties.
2. Students should be able to explain the impact of hydrogen bonding on the shape of a water molecule.
Daily Essential Questions:
How do the unique properties of water allow life to exist on Earth?
