The Chemistry of Water
[ send me this paper ]
A 8 page description of water and the chemical properties that make it so unique. The author details the chemical structure of water and how this structure determines its behavior in response to temperature and in response to other substances. A brief history on temperature measurement with specifics of the distinction between the Fahrenheit scale, the Celsius scale, and the Kelvin scale is provided. The chemical process that occurs when "hard" water is subjected to boiling temperatures is illustrated with the use of chemical formulas. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Water cousins: Fluorine and Fluoride
[ send me this paper ]
( 5 pp.) One of the "stories" that was associated with the Cold War, long ago and far away, was that those sneaky Communists were going to put fluoride in the water and destroy us all.

World-Changing Science
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page paper discussing paradigm-changing contributors such as Max Planck, William Thomson and C.F. Mirbel, and how their scientific findings have benefited society as a whole.
