Complete the table.

Property Description Importance to Life


Hydrogen and Oxygen Water can separate from oil
within water bond and share and fats
Polarity pairs of electrons

States of Water Positively charged


hydrogen atoms of
water are attracted to Ice is less dense than
negatively charged liquid water.
oxygen atoms of other
water molecules
Calorie Lots of heat is needed Used to track fitness
to increase the
temperature of water.

Module 2 Review

Answer the Big Question for this module.

• Why is water so important?


Because of water being able to mix practically anything, lang ago molecules were able to combine
into amino acids which can combine to make proteins which then made LUCA (Last universal
common ancestor) So in short there would be no life without water.
