Many people get water from a source deep underground, called groundwater.

Water on Earth is in lakes, the ocean, rivers, underground, and frozen glaciers.

How do scientists measure how clear or murky water in a lake is? How does water clarity (clearness) affect what lives in the lake?

Some aquatic organisms live in open water, while some live in soil at the bottom of a body of water.

Glare from the sun and ripples from the wind can make it hard to see what's below the surface of a body of water.

In some parts of the world, lakes freeze during winter. In this activity learners will explore water’s unique properties of freezing and melting, and how these relate to density and temperature.

In this activity, learners use tonic water to detect ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun and explore the concept of fluorescence.

In this activity, learners add food coloring to hot and cold water in order to see how fluids at different temperatures move around in convection currents.

Some bugs can walk on the surface of a lake, stream, river, pond or ocean.

When it rains, water can collect on top of and seep into the ground. Water can also run downhill, carrying soil and pollution with it.

Where rainwater goes after the rain stops? And why there are rivers and lakes in some parts of the land but not in others?

Lakes, streams and other freshwater bodies are a habitat for lots of living things, big and small.

In this activity, learners cut out and assemble wheels to explore how variations in fish body structures (mouth shape/position/teeth, body shape, tail shape, and coloration patterns) allow fish to sur

Plants need nutrients to grow. This is why we apply fertilizers to grass and food crops. In this activity, learners will explore how fertilizers can affect lakes and other bodies of water.

In this activity, learners will make their own prism and use a glass of water to separate sunlight into different colors.

Millions of organisms can live in and around a body of water.

In this activity, learners make a model of a one-way heart valve to investigate how a heart controls the direction of blood flow.

Bones are stiff, which helps us lift heavy things and walk around, but they are also somewhat flexible, which lets them bend slightly.

Your heart pumps blood throughout your body in one direction, around in a loop. In this activity, learners will make a model of one type of heart chamber called a ventricle.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate organisms that live along the ocean's rocky coast.
