Physical Science, Module 4: Water

I am using Exploring Creation with Physical Science for Alex's 8th grade science text. I have found a few sites that are REALLY helpful with links and videos. I decided to post what I will use on my blog so I can find it easier when I go through it with Alex. But, I want to give these people credit. (Plus, they will have more on Modules 1-3 while I'm starting my blog with Module 4). The sites are:

• the blog Sahm I Am! under Physical Science
• a Wiki by Mrs. Debbie Nafzger
• and an Educator's Science Resources site

So, now I'll pick and choose what I want to use for Module 4....

STATIC ELECTRICITY & WATER VIDEO

 

 

HOW POLARITY MAKES WATER BEHAVE

 



           

IONIC AND COVALENT BONDING

                             

LAUNCHPAD: COHESION AND ADHESION

        

LAUNCHPAD: SURFACE TENSION

       

PROPERTIES OF WATER

                      

PROPERTIES OF WATER

                      

ELECTROLYSIS OF WATER

                      

DISSOCIATION OF SALT

                      

SURFACE TENSION

                     

HOW A WATER SOFTENER WORKS

   

The sites mentioned above also have links to various experiments, cartoons, worksheets, etc. Because of the things we've already covered, I'm only going to do one with my daughter. It was created by Debbie Nafzger and is a wonderful "Chemical Formula" worksheet.
