In this creative roleplay activity, learners will explore the various processes of the water cycle using movement, sound, and props to aid in comprehension.

In this experiment, learners float colored ice cubes in hot and cold water.

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

In this three-part activity, learners play a game and conduct two simple experiments to explore water and surface tension. Learners will have fun discovering how water "sticks" together.

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

In this activity, learners sublimate dry ice and then taste the carbon dioxide gas.

In this activity, learners use objects they find on a nature and water to make creative frozen sculptures.

In this activity, learners will explore the physics of liquids and gas by playing with both! Learners of any age use their own breath to move drops of water across a smooth wax paper surface.

In this activity, challenge learners to float a paper clip in a cup of water. Learners discover that a paper clip will sink in a cup of water, except when it is placed on a piece of paper towel.

In this activity, learners thread colored beads onto string. Each beach represent a process of the water cycle.

Learners work in teams to design and build solar water heating devices that mimic those used in residences to capture energy in the form of solar radiation and convert it to thermal energy.

In this activity, learners will be working with a sort of scientific magic, capillary action! They will set up 3 cups of water of different colors, connect them with paper towels and wait.

In this activity, learners discover that as the salinity of water increases, the density increases as well. Learners prove this by attempting to float fresh eggs in saltwater and freshwater.

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

Learners add two dyes to mineral oil and water, and then compare their miscibility (how well they mix) in each.

Learners add different liquids (water, salt water, alcohol, and detergent solution) to water and observe the different ways the different liquids combine with water.

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 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 quick activity, learners break the tension that happens when water develops a "skin." Learners use water, pepper and some soap to discover the wonders of surface tension—the force that attract

In this activity, learners explore water pressure by conducting an experiment with a garden hose. Learners build a testing apparatus and create PVC nozzles with different sized holes.
