The Nelly Boum Show: WATER

All water on earth arrived as ice on asteroids and comets from space- meaning water is an alien! Did you also know that there is the same amount of water on Earth as there was when the Earth was formed... so the water youre drinking today could contain molecules that dinosaurs drank. And, did you know that 75% of the human brain is water and 75% of a living tree is water. In this months Nelly Boum Show, we are exploring the only chemical that expands when it goes from a liquid to a solid- water. Come get liquified with water experts...
