H2O, aqua......water

        Water has allot of different things/actions that it can do.  It melts stuff, it bubbles, it sticks to other things, and covers the earth.  The question is,  who cares ?!  Well the answer to that would be the people who actually witness these properties in action.  In class, we did different exercises that allowed us to get a more in depth look at the physical properties or water.  We put 51 drops of water onto a penny, before it fell off of the coin.  this is the strong attraction that water has that can build up the surface tension.  It's also a great example of how sticky water is.  Then we tried to cut a water droplet in half with a tooth pick on wax paper, and all it did was stick to the tooth pick and get drug around the piece of wax paper.  The funnest part of all of it is when my group got a piece of string 3.4 meters long and then poured the water down the string from beaker to beaker.
       Syphoning.  What is that?  A good example is when people steal gas from someones car.  They stick a long straw down the gas tank and then suck on the other end till gas starts coming out of the straw/hose.  Then the gas will stay flowing through that straw almost magically.  I told you that so i could tell you this.  If trees don't have a heart, then how in the world does the water get through its veins.  Well the syphoning exercise i told you about is a very good idea to have when you think about how it gets around.  the waters' sticky physicality gives it the ability to be able to flow through a tree.  The suction that the tree has on the water leads it through those tiny veins and out the other end to be evaporated.  Thats how waters physical properties are used through out different parts of life other than just interesting science experiments.
         Water is more than just a habitat, but its a great solvent as well. meaning that it can dissolve most any thing that you put into it.  This occurs when the molecules bounce around randomly and the electrons start to pull apart the molecules within the object, or liquid.
        Even though it may be in different forms, ice (solid), liquid, or vapor (gas), it's still water.  Or is it H2O?  Or is it aqua?
