In this activity, learners will simulate the processes of the water cycle at home in a plastic sandwich bag.

This activity offers learners and their families several ways to raise their awareness together about home water.

In this activity, learners consider the water features they might enjoy at a community park--a pond, brook, water playground (or "sprayground"), or pool--and what happens to the water over time.

In this outdoor water activity, learners explore evaporation by painting with water and tracing puddles. Learners will discover that wet things become dry as the water evaporates.

In this water activity, learners discover ways to move water across the water table.

In this outdoor water activity, learners explore how to change the direction of water flow. Learners make puddles in dirt or use existing puddles and sticks to make water flow.

In this activity, learners will explore the water cycle by creating a small atmosphere.

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

This is a simple and fun activity for learners to explore water and colors.

In this activity, learners make their own "tornado" using two soda bottles and water.

In this activity, learners work in groups to build simple solar stills filled with salt water. After the stills are complete, learners observe what happens when they place the stills in the sun.

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

In this activity, learners create a biosphere in a baggie.

In this activity, learners capture and observe planaria, which are worms that eat tiny pond critters.

In this activity, learners model atmospheric convection currents using food coloring, water, and clear cups. Activity includes step-by-step instructions, STEM connections, and more.

In this activity, learners use found natural materials to create a water haven for bees and other insects.

In this activity, learners conduct three experiments to examine temperature, the different stages of the water cycle, and how convection creates wind.

In this activity, learners will use static elecricity to bend a stream of water without touching it. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.

In this activity, learners create a tornado in a bottle to observe a spiraling, funnel-shaped vortex. A simple connector device allows water to drain from a 2-liter bottle into a second bottle.

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.
