Across
  1. 2. A liquid (like water) that can dissolve other substances.
  2. 6. How well a substance can hold heat. Water heats and cools slowly because it has a high thermal capacity.
  3. 9. The solid, frozen form of water.
  4. 10. A state of matter that flows and takes the shape of its container — like water.
  5. 11. When water molecules stick to other materials (like glass or plant stems).
  6. 13. How heavy something is for its size. Ice is less dense than water, so it floats.
  7. 14. A weak connection between water molecules that helps them stick together.
  8. 15. When water molecules stick to each other.

  1. 1. The temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas. For water, it’s 100°C.
  2. 3. A state of matter where something keeps its shape — like ice.
  3. 4. A clear liquid we drink, made of hydrogen and oxygen. It’s essential for all life.
  4. 5. A state of matter that spreads out to fill a space — like steam or water vapour.
  5. 7. When water (or wind) wears away rocks and soil, changing the landscape over time.
  6. 8. A "skin" on the surface of water caused by water molecules sticking together.
  7. 12. A molecule (like water) with one end slightly positive and one end slightly negative, like a tiny magnet.
