Water Properties

When you think of water, you usually automatically think of drinking water, or water that you shower or bathe in. But what you don't know, and what i didn't even know is that there are many different things about water. Liquid water is the medium of life, and most organisms are over 80% of water. Water also has a high surface tension. That's how leaves float on top of the water when they fall, instead of sinking straight into the water right away. In this class we did a couple of labs but due to volleyball again, i missed some of them so the only one i got to do was the lab with the water and the string. This lab was interesting because it was weird to see the water travel down the string. Some people's groups got the water to travel all the way down he string, but my group didn't. It was pretty difficult, and we couldn't do it unless we had someone kind of guiding the water down the string. Most of the water just spilt out of the beaker straight onto the floor but some of it went down on to the string. When we tried it we got water to go down the string about halfway down. The lab was cool and fun to try.
