Water Molecule

Project Name: Water Molecule Penny Test
Overview & Background: I am an intern at a Water Resources Institute assisting in the education and outreach program.
Objectives: To be able to not just show an image of a water molecule but let them hold and truly understand it. Through the activity we can also teach students about cohesion, adhesion, and surface tension and how they can affect water and your experiments.
Audiences: We do this with students from kindergarten to seniors in high school but the final info must be adjusted for age and learning goal.
Subjects: Earth Science, Chemistry
Skills Learned (Standards): Team work, properties of water, independence on working, and the properties of water Also a working knowledge of cohesion, adhesion, and surface tension.
Lesson/Activity: We use this in explaining the special qualities of water. We mainly focus on cohesion, adhesion, and surface tension and allowing them to design their own way to set up an experiment. They are tol
