Our water properties were adhesion and cohesion. Adhesion is when water sticks to something else and cohesion is when water sticks to water. Our demonstration involved a penny and eye droppers. We had the class squirt water onto the pennies: The droplets all stuck together showing cohesion and they also stuck to the penny showing adhesion. Adhesion and cohesion relate to the aquatic ecosystem because they both contribute to the transportation of water in a plant. Because of this project, I learned that the reason water comes together into one droplet is due to cohesion.
