In this activity and/or field trip, learners investigate the water currents that aquatic animals create when they breathe, feed, and propel themselves through water.

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

Dig a hole, line it, fill it with fresh water, and you have a water hole: a good place to study colonization.

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

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

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.

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.

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

In this outdoor, sunny day activity, learners experiment with paper leaf models to discover how some desert plants conserve water.

In this outdoor activity, learners compare the moisture released from different kinds of leaves and from different parts of the same leaf, by observing the color change of cobalt chloride paper.

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.

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.

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

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 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.

In this activity, learners cut out and assemble wheels to explore how variations in fish body structures (mouth shape/position/teeth, body shape, tail shape, and coloration patterns) allow fish to sur

In this outdoor activity, learners use a mapping technique to become oriented to the major features of an outdoor site.

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.

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