Exercise #3 Water Climbing Up Coffee Filter Materials 5 coffee filter strips 5 different colored non-permanent markers A graduated cylinder Water Procedure 1. Get materials 2. Put a line across a strip of coffee filter paper about 5 cm from the bottom with 1 marker. Repeat this with the rest of your markers and coffee filter strips. 3. Put about 20 mL of water in your graduated cylinder. Place 1 coffee filter strip in the graduated cylinder. Make sure that the water does not touch the marker line but that the strip is in the water. Watch the water climb the coffee filter strip. Repeat this step with the rest of your coffee filter strips. Questions 1. What color marker did you put on your first strip of coffee paper? ___________________________________________ 2. What colors make up this color? (What colors showed up on your coffee filter strip after the water climbed up it?) ____________________________________________ 3. What color marker did you put on your second strip of coffee paper? ___________________________________________ 4. What colors make up this color? ____________________________________________ 5. What color marker did you put on your third strip of coffee paper? ___________________________________________ 6. What colors make up this color? ____________________________________________ 7.

11. How do you think that water climbs up coffee filter paper? Exercise #4 Make a Homemade Lava Lamp Materials Salt Cooking Oil Food Coloring Glass Jar with Cover Water Procedure 1. Get materials 2. Fill the bottle 2/3 full with water. Drop in 10 drops of food coloring. Add about 1/3 of a cup of cooking oil. 3. Pour some salt into the cooking oil and water mixture. 4. Pour some more salt into the mixture. 5. Put the cover on the jar. Tip the bottle back and forth and watch the lava lamp work. Questions Use the words below to fill in the blanks to explain how the lava lamp works. mix lighter dissolve top heavier bottom The oil floats on the water because it is ___________________________________ than the water. Oil doesnt ________________________with water either so it will not dissolve into the water. The salt however, is denser than water and ___________________________. When you pour the salt onto the oil, it clings to the oil and after a bit of it piles up, it drags the denser blob to the ______________________________ of the jar. Salt also will dissolve in water. After a while, the salt begins to __________________________________ in the water until it reaches a point where it can no longer hold down the glob of oil the glob floats back to the _______________________ where you can sprinkle more salt on it and repeat.

Exercise #2 Paperclips in Water Materials Beaker Water Paperclips Procedure 1. Get materials. 2. Fill the beaker to the top with water. 3. Guess how many paper clips you can fit into the beaker before the water runs over. ____________________________________ 4. Start putting paper clips into the beaker. How many paper clips could you put into the beaker before the water overflowed? _______________________________ Questions Use the words below to explain cohesion and surface tension. positive negative force molecule water strength skin reduce film attracted surface

Cohesion Water molecules are _____________________________________ to other water molecules. The oxygen end has a _____________________________________ charge and the hydrogen end has a ___________________________________ charge. The hydrogens of one water ________________________________ are attracted to the oxygen from other water molecules. This attractive _________________________ is what gives water its cohesive properties. Surface Tension Surface tension is the name we give to the cohesion of water molecules at the ______________________________ of a body of ______________________________. The cohesion of water molecules forms a surface _________________________________ or __________________________. Some substances may ________________________________ the cohesive force of water, which will reduce the __________________________ of the surface skin of the water.
