This document outlines 9 demonstrations and experiments about the unique properties of water. It explores water's ability to dissolve many substances due to its polarity, its density and ability to transport substances through capillary action, as well as its high specific heat, surface tension, and properties of cohesion and adhesion. Key terms related to these concepts are also defined.
