In this activity (on pages 29-35), learners examine water pollution and filtration.

This experiment is designed to illustrate how fluids, including water, have the ability to flow.

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

In this outdoor activity, learners compare the moisture released from different kinds of leaves and from different parts of the same leaf, by observing the color change of cobalt chloride paper.

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

In this activity, learners experiment with surface tension using everyday household items such as strawberry baskets, paperclips, liquid dish soap, and pepper.

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.

In this activity, learners conduct a simple experiment to see how electrically charged things like plastic attract electrically neutral things like water.

This activity about density provides instructions for making a miniature "lava lite" with just salt, oil, water, and food coloring.

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

In this activity, learners use a laser pointer to project a microscopic image of a liquid sample suspended from the tip of a syringe.

In this activity, learners observe the hydrologic cycle in action as water evaporates and condenses to form rain right before their eyes.

In this outdoor water activity, learners explore how to change the direction of water flow. Learners make puddles in dirt or use existing puddles and sticks to make water flow.

In this outdoor activity, learners race small boats, made of cork, balsa wood, popsicle sticks etc., to investigate the rate and direction of currents in a stream or creek.

Learners explore how the attractive forces between water molecules create surface tension and allow certain objects to float on the surface of water.

Over the course of several days, learners explore the property of water that helps plants move water from roots to leaves or gives paper towels the capacity to soak up water.

In this activity, learners act as water molecules and travel through parts of the water cycle to discover that it is more complex than just water moving from the ground to the atmosphere.

In this activity, learners consider the water features they might enjoy at a community park--a pond, brook, water playground (or "sprayground"), or pool--and what happens to the water over time.

In this activity, learners estimate how much water they think can be found in various locations on the Earth in all its states (solid, liquid, and gas) to discover the different water ratios in the Ea

In this activity, learners will explore how a hydrometer works by building a working model and conducting experiments.
