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

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 play with surprising sand that doesn’t get wet! Learners explore how water behaves differently when it comes in contact with "magic sand" and regular sand.

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

This online interactive has three activities in the NanoLab (press the upper right button): Build, Zoom, and Transform.

In this online interactive simulation, learners will add different salts to water and then watch the salts dissolve and achieve a dynamic equilibrium with solid precipitate.

In this online interactive simulation, learners will test the pH of liquids like coffee, spit, and soap to determine whether each is acidic, basic, or neutral.

In this activity (on page 5 of PDF), learners use dry ice and household materials to make scientifically accurate models of comets.
