    capillary action: If a paper towel is draped over the edge of a half-full glass of water, so that the edge of the towel touches the water, then the towel will soak up water.

    amphipathic: Not sure. Maybe soap?

    Dissolving: If you mix sugar into hot coffee, it dissolves. I also dissolve a lot of salt into boiling water that I use to make pasta.
