SB1 (d) Students will
explain the impact of
water on life processes
(i.e. osmosis, diffusion)
What are the unique
properties of water that
make it essential to all
living things?

Activator
How does the presence
of substances dissolved
in water affect the
properties of water?
How do hydrogen bonds
in water make it a
universal solvent?
How do we tie it all
together?
Test
How do we tie it all
together?
Teaching Strategies:
Students will watch a
video clip on what
makes water polar and
the characteristics that
identify why it is the
universal solvent why it
is the best solvent.
Students will use their
iPads, textbooks, and
notes to complete a GO
on water’s polar
characteristics.
Students will begin
working on a study
guide/review packet on
the properties of water,
universal solvent,
polarity, cohesion,
adhesion, insulation and
capillary action, and
hydrogen bonds in
water.
Students will continue to
complete a foldable
identifying the properties
of water: universal
solvent, polarity, cohesion,
adhesion and insulation.
TEST
Students will watch a
video on the concepts of
biology and their use in
different fields of
science. They will use
the information found in
the video to complete a
worksheet.
