You see liquid water coming out of the faucet, when it rains, and running in a river. Pure liquid water is free of salt, rocks, soil, and garbage. </div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > <A NAME="solid_water"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></FONT>Solid Water: Ice, snow, and frost are examples of water in the solid state. Liquid water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius. Celsius is scale that measures temperature. What instrument do you use to measure temperature? Winter is a season that you see a lot of solid water. Other examples of solid water are ice cubes, icicles, ice on a skating rink. </div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > <A NAME="water_as_a_gas"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></FONT>Water as a Gas: You don't see anything because gas is invisible. Water in the liquid state may change to water in the gaseous state. Water evaporates to turn into a gas. Gases are colorless and odorless. You cannot see gas ,but sometimes you can hear it and smell it. What are some ways that you can hear or smell a gas? </div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> Write one fact about each state of matter on your worksheet.</div> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 171 WIDTH="496"><div> <B> <A NAME="words_scientist_use"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Kristen ITC" ><B>Words Scientist Use</B></FONT></div> <div> Click on the ice cube to answer what words scientist use to describe the following states of matter.  Fill in the answers on your worksheet.</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="http://www.uni.edu/~iowawet/H2OProperties.html#states" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.uni.edu/~iowawet/H2OPropertie"><U><B><IMG SRC="056735a0.jpg" border=0 width="115" height="90" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></U></A></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 173 WIDTH="496"><div> <B> <A NAME="surface_tension"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Kristen ITC" ><B>Surface Tension</B></FONT></div> <div> Click on the paperclip to read about surface tension.  Answer the question about surface tension on your worksheet.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="http://www.uni.edu/~iowawet/H2OProperties.html#tension" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.uni.edu/~iowawet/H2OPropertie"><U><B><IMG SRC="057732c0.jpg" border=0 width="115" height="44" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></U></A></div> <div> Use the following link to check your definition of <FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Kristen ITC" ><A HREF="http://www.uni.edu/~iowawet/H2OProperties.html#ad" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.uni.edu/~iowawet/H2OPropertie"><U><B>cohesion</B></U></A></FONT>.</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
