Water

2.2U1:  Water molecules are polar and hydrogen bonds form between them.
2.2U2:  Hydrogen bonding and dipolarity explain the cohesive, adhesive, thermal an dsolvent properties of water.
2.2U3:  Substances can be hydrophilic or hydrophobic.

2.2A1:   Comparison of the thermal properties of water with those of methane 
2.2A2:   Use of water as a coolant in sweat.
2.2A3:    Modes of transport of glucose, amino acids, cholesterol, fats, oxygen and sodium chloride in blood in relation to the solubility of water.

LIfe is wonderfully complicated.   Stay curious.  Be skeptical.    And above all, ask many questions!
