We like to use water to explain to the children about Baptism, and that Jesus is the living water.. and how pure water is free of elements. Baptism we believe is important because Jesus Christ as a man was Baptised, and commanded us to do such.
Definition:
Jesus is the water that brings life to the soul. By drinking the living water one can live and never thirst again. Jesus is that Living Water.
Meaning:
Water was scarce in Jesus' day, yet water was as much a necessity for life then as it is today. Just as the physical body needs water to continue living so does the spirit. Jesus is the water needed by the spiritual part of man. Without Him the soul will eventually die. The soul is thirsty and we try to quench that thirst with many things that satisfy for awhile, but eventually we get thirsty again. The only thing that can truly quench the thirst of the spirit is the living water, Jesus Christ.
Scripture Support:
John 7:38 (KJV)
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
references to water (or derivatives of it) in scripture and come up with 722.
Without water, life as we know it cannot exist. We can live longer without food than without water. The human body contains 40-50 quarts of water, making it the largest single element in the body. The brain is approximately 80% water and is extremely sensitive to dehydration. Water generates electrical and magnetic energy within every cell and most enzymatic and biochemical reactions depend on it. Liquid water is found in many places. You see liquid water coming out of the faucet, when it rains, and running in a river. Pure liquid water is free of salt, rocks, soil, and garbage.
Solid Water- 
Ice, snow, and frost are examples of water in the solid state. Liquid water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius. Celsius is scale that measures temperature. What instrument do you use to measure temperature? Winter is a season that you see a lot of solid water. Other examples of solid water are ice cubes, icicles, ice on a skating rink.
Water as a Gas -Look at this picture of gas 
You don't see anything because gas is invisible. Water in the liquid state may change to water in the gaseous state. Water evaporates to turn into a gas. Gases are colorless and odorless. You cannot see gas ,but sometimes you can hear it and smell it. What are some ways that you can hear or smell a gas?
Water can evaporate or disappear with the help of heat. Changes in temperature can increase the rate or how long it takes water to evaporate. Evaporate means to disappear. Water can evaporate from soil. It evaporates off wet clothes hanging on a clothesline. Plants release water vapor into the air. We breathe out water vapor.
