WaTeR . . .

Without water, we obviously wouldn't be able to survive. But apart from that... water is used SO much in our everyday lives...

We drink water, we wash in water, we cook with water, water falls from the clouds as rain, we swim in water... things like that.


We Would Die Without Water...

~Water is needed by plants to live which are needed for us to live.

~About 55% to 78% of our bodies are made up of water.

~ We need to drink water to hydrate ourselves to survive.


Water can also be called:

Aqua, Hydrogen oxide, Hydrogen hydroxide, Hydrate, Oxidane, Hydroxic acid,
Dihydrogen monoxide, Hydronium hydroxide, Hydroxyl acid, Dihydrogen oxide, Hydrohydroxic acid, μ-Oxido dihydrogen and Light Water !


Scientific Things About Water ...


Water exists in three states of matter. Solids (ice), liquids(water) and gases(steam). These can be melted, frozen or evaporated to change thier physical state.

Waters melting point = 0 degrees celcius.

Waters boiling point = 100 degrees celcius.

Water = H2O.

Water is known as the universal solvent because many substances are able to dissolve in water. At room temperature, water is nearly colourless (with a hint of blue) and odourless.

Water makes the world go round.. This is the water cycle.
