10 Important uses of water
1. Water is used to help plants through photosynthesis by providing them with the water they need to grow.
2. Water is used for transporting people, cargo, ect, by providing them with a water way to travel on or in.
3. Water is used for recreational activities like water sports or anything for fun. Ex: water skiing.
4. Water is used to provide habitats for organisms that need to live in water.
5. Water is used for cleaning objects, people, places, and to make cleansing agents (holy water).
6. Water is used for keeping your body from changing its internal temperature too quickly which maintains homeostasis.
7. Water is used to cook by being included in majority of many recipies and being used to boil some foods.
8. Water is used for providing clean electricity by allowing the natural flow of water to turn turbines which will power a generator.
9. Water is used to dissolve a lot of different substances by being a universal solvent. It's called a universal solvent because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid.
10. Water is used to keep every organism alive by providing them with the hydration they all need to live.

Properties of water
- Adhesion: water molecules sticking to another substance.
- Capillary action: tendency of water to rise in thin tubes
- Cohesion: water sticking to water
- High heat capacity: water becoming an insulator when the sun heats it all day
- Most dense at 4 degrees celsius: allows fish in lakes and ponds to survive in the winter
- Surface tension: A measure of how difficult it is to stretch or break the surface of a liquid
- Universal solvent: salt and sugar (and other substances) dissolve in water
This image shows capillary action from the water traveling up the paper towel.
Adhesion is represented from the water sticking to the inside of the cup.
Cohesion is represented by all of the water sticking together.
Universal solvent is represented by the food coloring dissolving in the water

These images represent water being a universal solvent by the sugar dissolving in the cup of water.
Surface tension is represented by the cap floating on top of the water and not breaking the tension on the surface.

This picture represents most dense at 4 degrees celsius by the very top of the ice cube being frozen but there still being liquid water underneath.

Cohesion is represented by the water sticking together.
This cup represents high heat capacity because this cup was left out for several hours and the temperature didn't change very much.
