Teach why water is so important for life with our paper model!

Water is essential for life on Earth. Life evolved in water and cells are mostly made of water but why is water so important for life?

Our paper model shows that water is a polar molecule that has several special properties that make it necessary for life. It is liquid at room temperature, it is an excellent solvent for chemical reactions, solid water floats on liquid water and it buffers extreme changes in temperature. All these features and more are due to hydrogen bonding which is explained in the model.

Buy once, print forever!

First, your students make their colourful model of a water and other molecules. They then use these models to look at why hydrogen bonds form, why ice is less dense than liquid water, why glucose, proteins and salt dissolve in water, how water is transported in plants, how sweating uses water to cool us down in hot weather and how surface tension happens.

Includes colourful class Powerpoint!

Takes just 30 minutes!

Dimensions (of plant): 25cm x 12cm / 10in x 4.5in.

Download includes: instructions, colour templates, black and white templates and classroom Powerpoint presentation.

All you need: paper, scissors, tape.
