Page uses movies and 3D images to explain how properties of water relate to polarity and hydrogen bonding.

Students use their own model of a salt crystal and water molecule to show how water dissolves salt. Then, they relate their observations to the structure of salt, water, and alcohol on the molecular level.

This lesson will provide an understanding of the chemical and physical nature of water. It is 4 of 4 in the series titled "The Properties of Water."

Adjust amounts of ionic charges in this simulation to see how water molecules react to polar substances in solution.

This site from the University of Frostburg provides an explanation of the process by which nonpolar molecules dissolve in water.

A lab activity that introduces chromatography using markers, plus water and acetone as the solvents. Young scholars will take measurements to compare the mobile and stationary phases of the inks, and find the polarity of the inks and...
