In this activity, learners simulate nature's water filtration system by devising a system that will filter out both visible and invisible pollutants from water.

In this activity, learners explore how engineering has developed various means to remove impurities from water.

In this activity, learners use the design thinking process to design and build their own aqueduct, or water bridge.

This is an activity/demo in which learners are exposed to the difference bewteen hydrophobic surfaces (water repelling) and hydrophilic surfaces (water loving).

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

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

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

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

Learners follow directions to construct a water-powered electrical generator using a turbine made from plastic spoons.

In this environmental science and data analysis activity, learners work in groups to track a Dead Zone (decreased dissolved oxygen content of a body of water) using water quality data from the Nutrien

In this activity, learners create a colorful bookmark using a super thin layer of nail polish on water. Learners discover that a thin film creates iridescent, rainbow colors.

In this physics activity, learners build their own rockets out of film canisters and construction paper.

In this design challenge activity, learners design and build a solar hot water heater. Their goal is to create a heater that yields the highest temperature change.

This is an activity that demonstrates how batteries work using simple household materials. Learners use a pickle, aluminum foil and a pencil to create an electrical circuit that powers a buzzer.

In this activity, learners are asked to examine the differences between two materials in a pair.

In this activity (on page 2 of PDF), learners create a low-tech refrigerator that requires no electricity to keep food from spoiling.

In this demonstration, learners discover that nanoparticles behave differently, in part because they have a high surface area to volume ratio.

In this activity, learners investigate the food, water, and space needs of common livestock animals.
