Science Mom's Guide to Water, Part 1 - Cohesion

And for further learning about how incredible water is, here are links to four other videos that I enjoyed watching:

The Amoeba Sister's Properties of Water

This 7 minute full-cartoon does a fantastic overview of the basic properties of water, with a simple explanation of polarity and hydrogen bonds.

Sci-Show has several videos about water. I enjoyed "Where does water come from?" A 4 minute clip about the water cycle with both animation and live action:

And "Why Do We Wrinkle When Wet?" a 4 minute clip that explains why fingers and toes wrinkle up like raisins when we take a long bath:

This 11 minute clip is aimed at an older audience, but has humor and good pacing and would be appealing to a wide range of ages. It covers basic properties of water, polarity, hydrogen bonds, and even a little history about scientific discovery.

Thanks for reading, and watch for Science Mom's Guide to Water, Part 2 - Surface Tension, which will be coming to you in early January, 2017.
