Water: We’re Full of It

Did you know that “wet” is simply water molecules sticking to the surface of an object? That means when you shower, you’re actually just coating yourself with water! This tiny, polar molecule is the reason why life on Earth exists. Its chemical properties allow it to stay in liquid form, even after larger molecules have vaporized. Without water, we wouldn’t be here, and Earth would be as hot as our neighboring planet, Venus. To celebrate the importance of H2O, we turned it into a necklace. It makes a great gift for hydrologists, athletes, aquarium lovers, and environmental scientists.
