In this activity, learners will explore the density of an object in water. Learners will compare what happens to fruits and vegetables in regular and salt water.

In this activity, learners discover that they can create a lens from a water drop. Learners test their lens by looking at words or pictures.

In this activity, learners capture and observe planaria, which are worms that eat tiny pond critters.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a boat that can hold 25 pennies (or 15 one inch metal washers) for at least ten seconds before sinking.

In this activity, learners investigate convection by using food coloring and water of different temperatures.

In this simulation activity, learners observe what can happen when ocean waves churn up water and oil from an oil spill.

If you got a big graduated or clear cylinder, water, a pipe, and a tuning fork, you've got a sound learning opportunity! Learn about resonance with this Exploratorium Science Snack.

Learners place multiple M&M's in a plate of water to watch what happens as the candies dissolve.

This is a quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under Nasturtium Leaves Activity) about surface tension.

In this activity on page 10 of the PDF, learners detect the amount of energy that can flow through a sodium chloride electrolyte solution with a light sensor.

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

This is an online activity about acceleration. Learners will choose a speed and an angle in order to help a water-skier named Fonzie use a ramp to clear a shark.

In this introductory demonstration and activity, learners are introduced to the concept of density as they explore a rock and a wooden block in water.

In this activity, learners explore how salt water freezes in comparison to fresh water.

In this quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS Wetlands Activity), learners will model how wetlands act as natural filters for the environment.

In this activity/demonstration, learners observe what happens when two ping pong balls are suspended in the air by a hair dryer. Use this activity to demonstrate how rain drops grow by coalescence.

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.

In this weather-related activity, learners make a portable cloud in a bottle.

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

In this math lesson (page 2 of the PDF), learners use bottles of various shapes to explore the abstract concept of rate of change.
