1 FOCUS Book Try some tests to see what floats in water. Fill a cup with water. Drop a paper clip on the water. Does it float or sink? Next, put a paper clip on top of a piece of paper towel. Place both of them gently on top of the water. Do they float or sink? Now, slowly pull out the paper towel. Does the paper clip float or sink? Try putting other small things in water. Which ones float, and which ones sink? Wonderful Water Beyond the Book Visit an outdoor area with water. Are there living things in or near the water?

2 Is Water Alive? Wonder f ul Water Living things change. So does water. Does this mean that water is a living thing? No. Water is not a living thing. Water cannot make more of itself. Also, water is not made of cells. FOCUS Question What is water, and what can it do?

Water moves and changes. But it is not a living thing. 2

3 Water for Living Things Solid, Liquid, or Gas? Living things grow. They also make more of their own kind. Everything you see is either a solid, a liquid, or a gas. Living things need water to do these things. Toys are solid. Milk is a liquid. The air in a balloon is a gas. More than half of your body is made of water! Water can be a solid, a liquid, or a gas. Let s find out what makes water so special. A solid thing has its own shape. These blocks are solid. A liquid takes the shape of its container. Milk is a liquid. Plants need water so they can make their own food and grow taller. A gas spreads out. It takes the shape of its container. This balloon is filled with gas. 3 4

4 Changing Water Water is solid when it is ice. Water can also be a gas. If you warm up ice, it melts. Now you have liquid water. An icicle (EYE-sih-kul) is frozen water. It is solid. If you warm up liquid water, it turns into a gas. Now you cannot see it! If liquid water gets very cold, it turns solid. Now you have ice. Our air has water in it. The water is a gas. It turns into liquid when the air gets cold. Water makes clouds, rain, and snow. If you leave ice out too long, it will warm up. It will melt into a liquid. If the sun warms up a puddle of water, it will turn into a gas. It will go into the air. Clouds are made of tiny drops of liquid water. 5 6

5 Liquid Water Sticky Water You use liquid water every day. Try pouring water on something. You will see little drops! This is because water sticks together. Tiny drops turn into bigger drops. You drink liquid water. Your family cooks with liquid water. Liquid water in your sink or bath helps you get clean. Some insects can walk on top of water. The water holds them up! Water sticks together to make drops. Pond skaters are insects. They can walk across the top of water. 7 8 Eight drops of water are on a table. Three of them come together to make one big drop. Now how many drops are on the table?

6 Pass the Salt Write or draw your answers on separate paper. Use details from the book to support each answer. You can mix things into water. If you put salt in water, it will mix together. Now you have salt water. 1 Is water living or non-living? How do you know? 2 W hy does liquid water make drops? You can mix sugar and lemon juice in water. Now you have lemonade! 3 W hat is one example of a solid form of water? 4 Look back at page 5. What are two things that can happen when water gets warmer? Water does so many wonderful things! FOCUS Question What is water, and what can it do? Write about some of the things water can do. There is a lot of salt in ocean water! 9 10
