In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to explore how water flows up from a tree's roots to its leafy crown.

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

This creative lesson plan provides a visual way for learners to gain knowledge about the finite amount of fresh water on Earth and encourages the discussion of the various ways to conserve this resour

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

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

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

In this activity, learners make their own heat waves in an aquarium.

In this ecology activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners explore how to filter contaminated water using a variety of materials.

In this investigation, learners plant seeds in a 2-liter bottle filled with soil that is connected to a water source below. Over the next few weeks, learners observe how the plants grow.

In this activity, learners observe the hydrologic cycle in action as water evaporates and condenses to form rain right before their eyes.

Learners investigate the properties of the liquids in two bottles. One contains layers of oil and water, and one contains oil, water, and soap.

As a group, learners consider sources of water pollution to understand where pollution starts and where it ends up.

In this simple activity (on page 7 of the PDF), learners use water and liquid dish detergent to see which one removes lipstick better from an index card.

Learners place cut flowers in colored water and observe how the flowers change. The flowers absorb the water through the stem and leaves.

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

Learners see convection currents in action in this highly visual demonstration. Sealed bags of colored hot or cold water are immersed in tanks of water.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Water Clean-up Activity) about the use of reduction agents to decontaminate ground water.

In this activity, learners explore why humans sweat. Learners compare the effects of heat on a balloon filled with air and a balloon filled water.
