This makes it incredibly easy for life to use water as a mean to transfer things throughout the body.  Without water cells could not do any of the things that they need to do in order for life to continue. Every living thing that we know of is made up of primarily water, that is why scientists "follow the water" in their search for life.]]> 2017-04-24 14:20:46 UTC https://padlet.com/53601/hbhc6uund2xz/wish/167842187 53601 https://padlet.com/53601/hbhc6uund2xz/wish/167845239 As everyone knows, water takes three forms. These three forms allow it to present almost anywhere in the universe. Water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees.

That is why when scientists search for liquid water in their search for life.]]> 2017-04-26 14:29:12 UTC https://padlet.com/53601/hbhc6uund2xz/wish/168385315 53601 https://padlet.com/53601/hbhc6uund2xz/wish/168387035 Frozen water is very common throughout the universe. It is extremely common because of its ability to exist almost anywhere in the cold, dark, vacuum of space.  This form of water is what allowed it to reach earth.  Deposits of frozen water exist on many planets such as Mars, Moon, Earth, Pluto, and many planets with any sort of gravity. Many planets that are seen in the observable universe have frozen water.]]> 2017-04-26 14:33:19 UTC https://padlet.com/53601/hbhc6uund2xz/wish/168387035 53601 https://padlet.com/53601/hbhc6uund2xz/wish/168389594 The gassy form of water is also extremely common throughout the universe. There are massive fields of evaporated water that are in space. Water that surrounds a hot area can only hold this form. This doesn't just exist in space though, you can see it first hand in our atmosphere as clouds. ]]> 2017-04-26 14:39:39 UTC https://padlet.com/53601/hbhc6uund2xz/wish/168389594 53601 https://padlet.com/53601/hbhc6uund2xz/wish/168390687 Hydrogen and Oxygen are the two most common molecules in the entire universe. And they bond very easily. That's why you always see large deposits of water on earth, whether it's an ocean, cloud, or iceberg. Water always sticks together through a process known as hydrogen bonds. Water is extremely sticky, so therefore stick to each other incredibly easy. The hydrogen on each H20 molecule bonds with another oxygen, and the process continues until there is no more water.]]> 2017-04-26 14:42:24 UTC https://padlet.com/53601/hbhc6uund2xz/wish/168390687 53601 https://padlet.com/53601/hbhc6uund2xz/wish/168635953 As you have learned waters ability to change forms, and its ability to bond with other water molecules allows it to exist almost anywhere. This is why water is so common throughout the entire universe.]]> 2017-04-27 13:58:37 UTC https://padlet.com/53601/hbhc6uund2xz/wish/168635953 53601 https://padlet.com/53601/hbhc6uund2xz/wish/168636425 http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/how-did-water-come-to-earth-72037248/
