This experiment is designed to illustrate how fluids, including water, have the ability to flow.

This is a demonstration about how nature inspires nanotechnology. It is easily adapted into a hands-on activity for an individual or groups.

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

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

Visitors prepare six solutions combining vinegar and ammonia that range incrementally from acid (all vinegar) to base (all ammonia).

In this classic hands-on activity, learners estimate the length of a molecule by floating a fatty acid (oleic acid) on water.

In this activity, learners create a sealed, mini ecosystem that supplies freshwater shrimp with food, oxygen, and waste processing for at least three months.

In this activity, learners explore two properties of gases: gases take up space and exert pressure. Learners assemble two flasks and a beaker, connecting them with stoppers and tubing.

In this outdoor activity, learners visit the intertidal zone of a rocky coastal site well populated with marine organisms.

In this activity, learners explore how watermills have helped harness energy from water through the ages.

This is part 2 of the three-part "Crayon Rock Cycle" activity and must be done after part 1: Sedimentary Rocks. In this activity, learners explore how metamorphic rocks form.

In this chemistry activity, learners prepare two petri dishes, one filled with water and one filled with milk.

In this activity, learners explore the function and engineering of dams and how dams have many uses and solve many problems in the world.

Learners create a model of a wetland to observe how it absorbs and filters water from the environment.

In this activity, learners will discover why there are holes in bread.

Learners use a candle to investigate the products of combustion. When a glass rod is held over a lit candle, the candle flame deposits carbon on the rod.

Build a hydrometer (measures the density of a liquid) using a pipet or eyedropper.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate the special shapes, holding structures and holding behaviors that real organisms use in streams, rivers, creeks or coast intertidal zones to a

In this activity, learners interact with a 3-D model of a watershed to better understand the interconnectedness of terrestrial and aquatic environments.

In this outdoor activity, learners race small boats, made of cork, balsa wood, popsicle sticks etc., to investigate the rate and direction of currents in a stream or creek.
