In this activity learners will explore how water moves on waxed paper. Learners will use science process skills such as using tools and making observations as they explore surface tension.

In this activity, learners will explore how water affects marker on filter paper. Learners will use science process skills such as making observations and predictions as they explore color.

Learners design, build, and test models of "dragon boats" made from up to three milk cartons.

In this activity (located on page 3 of the PDF), learners investigate the way water moves and how we can control and direct water.

In this physics activity, learners will explore buoyancy.

In this activity, learners will explore the water cycle by creating a small atmosphere.

Learners discover that soap can be used to power a boat. Learners make a simple, flat boat model, put it in water, and then add a drop of detergent at the back of the boat.

In this investigation, learners plant seeds in a 2-liter bottle filled with soil that is connected to a water source below. Over the next few weeks, learners observe how the plants grow.

In this activity, learners play with surprising sand that doesn’t get wet! Learners explore how water behaves differently when it comes in contact with "magic sand" and regular sand.

Test the buoyancy of an aluminum foil boat and an aluminum foil ball. Why does the same material in different shapes sink or float?

Experiment with liquids of different densities and create liquid layers. For example, oil and water have different densities: oil floats on water because it is less dense than water.

In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized "whiskers" can protect clothing from stains.

In this activity, learners of all ages can become food scientists by experimenting with flour and water to make basic pasta.

This activity offers learners and their families several ways to raise their awareness together about home water.

No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.

In this activity, learners use found natural materials to create a water haven for bees and other insects.

In this activity, learners observe color mixing and absorbency using colored tissue paper and spray bottles.

In this water activity, learners test which objects float and which sink. Learners discover that objects behave differently in water.

In this activity, learners explore properties of water and watch evaporation happen by "painting" with water in the sun.

In this outdoor water activity, learners explore evaporation by painting with water and tracing puddles. Learners will discover that wet things become dry as the water evaporates.
