In this activity, learners use multiple thermometers, placed at different angles, and a lamp to investigate why some places on Earth's surface are much hotter than others.

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.

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

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

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

In this activity, learners test to see if carbon dioxide is present in the air we breathe in and out by using a detector made from red cabbage.

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

In this activity, learners make scale models of the Sun and Earth out of paper mache.

In this activity, learners make their own solar oven to bake s'mores and learn about how solar energy is absorbed on Earth.

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 build their own magnetometer using an empty soda bottle, magnets, laser pointer, and household objects.

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

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.

Learners will explore the concept of angular distance, and investigate why the moon appears to be the same size as the sun during a solar eclipse, despite the sun being much larger.

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

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.

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

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

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

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