There is a molecule that can break apart atomic bonds, sticks to itself, covers 70% of the Earth, is both an acid and a base, can pass through seemingly solid surfaces, and keeps us alive. This molecule is water! Join this project if you want to learn more about how such a simple substance can achieve all these incredible feats. We’ll talk about the vital role water plays in everyday life and explore chemistry concepts like polarity, pH, and osmosis. There will be plenty of experimenting (with explosions and weirdly-colored liquid) and a citizen science field trip to contribute to the community by taking local water data. We will even break water apart and put it back together again!
