SCIENCE!

Vocabulary water – a liquid earth material property – characteristic of a material; something you can observe, such as shape, color, temperature, and smell absorb – when a material soaks up another; For example water is absorbed into some materials. bead – to make a bubble; to hold its shape; For example, water beads up on some surfaces. surface tension – skin-like surface on water (and other liquids) that pulls it together into the smallest possible area dome – the shape of a drop of water on a flat surface slope – a slanted surface flow – the movement of a liquid over a surface

Turn to back  Facts to remember…

 Water has properties that we can observe…

-- Water is clear in color.

-- Water beads up on some materials.

-- Water is absorbed by other materials.

-- Water has surface tension. Adding soap to the water breaks the surface tension.

-- Water forms a dome on flat surfaces.

-- The steeper the slope, the faster the water flows.
