In this water activity, learners discover ways to move water across the water table.

In this activity about water's cohesive and adhesive properties and why water molecules are attracted to each other, learners test if objects repel or absorb water.

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

In this sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.

In this activity (located on page 10 of the PDF), learners explore the properties of spraying and dripping water, while making art.

In this water activity, learners build boats that float and sink. First, learners listen to the book, "Who Sank the Boat" and practice making predictions throughout the story.

Learners work in groups to construct bridges using stale marshmallows and toothpicks.

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 activity, learners visualize the differences in water density and relate this to the potential consequences of increased glacial melting.

In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.

In this hands-on activity, learners will construct a scuba diver that can float in order to explore how sea creatures stay neutrally buoyant in the ocean and to see what kinds of forces might be influ

In this activity about water solubility and density, learners use critical thinking skills to determine why water can dissolve some things and not others.

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 water activity, learners explore how water drops behave on different surfaces.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Bogs), learners will test cups full of potting soil, sand, and sphagnum moss to see which earth material is able to soak up the most water.

In this nanoscience activity, learners discover that it's easy to pour water out of a regular-sized cup, but not out of a miniature cup.

Learners explore water adhesion and learn about why water molecules are more strongly attracted to some substances than others.

In this activity, learners practice the steps involved in a scientific investigation while learning why ice formations on land (not those on water) will cause a rise in sea level upon melting.
