In this activity, learners will use static elecricity to bend a stream of water without touching it. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.

This quick demonstration (on page 11 of PDF) allows learners to understand why scientists think water ice could remain frozen in always-dark craters at the poles of the Moon.

In this activity, learners discover how solar energy can be used to heat water.

In this activity, learners explore how civil engineers solved the challenge of moving water via irrigation.

In this water activity, learners build boats that float and sink. First, learners listen to the book, "Who Sank the Boat" and practice making predictions throughout the story.

Learners design, build, and test models of "dragon boats" made from up to three milk cartons.

In this activity, learners explore how water behaves differently when it comes in contact with "nano sand" and regular sand.

No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

In this activity, explore chromatography and the various colors that make up the ink in markers. Use this activity to investigate cohesion and adhesion.

This online simulation game explores the different consequences of water levels on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest.

In this activity on page 15 of the PDF, discover how materials and physical forces behave differently at the nanoscale.

April showers bring May flowers, but what do coastal storms bring?

In this activity, learners discover how a super-absorbing material can be used to move a straw.

In this activity, learners investigate soil erosion. Learners set up a simulation to observe how water can change the land and move nutrients from one place to another.

In this activity, learners play with surprising sand that doesn’t get wet! Learners explore how water behaves differently when it comes in contact with "magic sand" and regular sand.

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 (on pages 4-5), learners make fake snow by adding water to the super-absorbant chemical from diapers, sodium polyacrylate.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to help Pharaoh design a better insulated tomb.

In this hands-on activity, learners use the steps of the design process to create a hook to rescue a "space capsule" from the water.
