Water explored


   








  

For this project I will be observing the actions and reactions of water to other substances and objects.

Surfaces/temperature:
    -Water on a lacquered wood surface: the water beads up (2cm 1cm)
    -Water on a glass surface: the water again beads up as it does on the wood surface (2cm x 1cm)
    -Water on a plastic surface: the water beads up but not as much as the previous two surfaces (3cm x 0.25 cm)








 -Water on a hot metal surface: the water moves about rapidly and randomly


    -Water on a cold metal surface: the water spreads out then pulls back into itself


    -Water in extreme cold: the water forms a solid (1/4cup -> 3/8cup)


Other substances
    -Water and juice mix powder: the majority of the mix falls to the bottom (1.5 oz. water + 1/4 tsp mix)





    -Water and oil: the two do not mix and the oil floats to the top (1.5 oz. water +1tbsp. oil)






  -Water and soap: the soap remains attached while some sinks and some remains at the top (1.5 oz. water + 1/2 tsp.)






 -Water and ethanol: the ethanol creates a cloudy appearance then dissipates (1.5 oz. water + 1/2 tsp. ethanol)
