All properties of water (know them, know examples, be able to explain each thoroughly)--- Adhesion

Adhesion - is the property of water that causes water to "stick" to other substances.---ex. glass of water sweats and sticks to a coaster.

All properties of water (know them, know examples, be able to explain each thoroughly)--- Capillary action

Capillary action - describes how water moves against gravity and can travel up a plants roots into its stem and leaves.

All properties of water (know them, know examples, be able to explain each thoroughly)--- Cohesion

Cohesion - is the property of water that causes water molecules to "stick" to each other.

All properties of water (know them, know examples, be able to explain each thoroughly)--- High Specific heat

High Specific Heat- describes the capacity of water to hold on to its heat.

All properties of water (know them, know examples, be able to explain each thoroughly)--- Universal solvent

All properties of water (know them, know examples, be able to explain each thoroughly)--- Surface tension

Surface tension - describes how the surface of water acts like a skin and seals up quickly after being disturbed. This allows water striders and some lizards to appear to "walk" on water.

What are hydrogen bonds?

The slightly negative regions of one molecule are attracted to the slightly positive regions of nearby molecules.
