Unit 9: Water 

                                 Syllabus Statements

EI
Water is the medium of life. 

2.2.U1
Water molecules are polar and hydrogen bonds from between them. 

2.2.NOS
Use of theories to explain natural phenomena-the theory that hydrogen bonds form between water molecules explain the properties of water. 
     
2.2.U2
Hydrogen bonding and bipolarity explain the cohesive, adhesive, thermal and solvent properties of water (give at least 1 example of a benefit to living organisms). 

2.2.A1
Comparison of the thermal properties of water with those of methane. 
    
2.2.A2
Use of water as a coolant in sweat. 

2.2.U3
Substances can be hydrophilic or hydrophobic. 
    
2.2.A3
Modes of transport of glucose, amino acids, cholesterol, fats, oxygen, and sodium in blood in relations to their solubility in water.
