Did you know that the water we use today is the same water found on Earth millions of years ago? The Earth constantly uses and recycles water in a process called the water cycle.

Learners demonstrate how water can distort, refract and magnify light.

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

Water treatment on a large scale enables the supply of clean drinking water to communities.

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.

Learners explore water's property of cohesion through two investigations.

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

Water sticks to all kinds of things in nature — flowers, leaves, spider webs - and doesn't stick to others, such as a duck's back.

Learners explore capillary action in plants (such as plants ability to move water from roots to leaves) in an investigation called Paper Blooms.

In an investigation called "Shape It!" learners craft tiny boats out of clay, set them afloat on water and then add weight loads to them, in order to explore: how objects stay afloat in water; what th

An estuary is a body of water that is created when freshwater from rivers and streams flows into the saltwater of an ocean.

In this activity, learners discuss the different salinities of oceans, rivers and estuaries.

This activity has learners observe water and compare it to other liquids.

In this activity, learners investigate the different salinity levels of oceans, rivers and estuaries.

In this activity learners explore surface tension. Why are certain objects able to float on the surface of water and how do detergents break the surface tension of water?

In this investigation, learners explore the force known as buoyancy by placing various objects into water and observing how they behave (for example, which sink more quickly, which float, how much wat

In this fun and in depth hands-on experiment, learners test various liquid samples (distilled water, lemon juice, vinegar, and baking soda mixed with water) to determine their pH levels and identify e

In the wild, small crustaceans known as brine shrimp live in marine habitats such as saltwater lakes.
