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 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.

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

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

In this activity, learners interact with a 3-D model of a watershed to better understand the interconnectedness of terrestrial and aquatic environments.

In this activity, learners will test soil content using their sample, some water and a container that seals.

In this activity about dinosaurs and survival, learners use scrap materials to create a miniature dinosaur habitat that includes a food source, water source, and shelter.

In this activity about sea otters, learners make their own "otter whiskers" and use them to find objects underwater.

In this activity (located at the bottom of the page), learners investigate soil and explore the creatures that live in it.

In this activity, learners examine the properties of different seaweeds, investigate what happens when powdered seaweed (alginate) is added to water, and learn about food products made with seaweed.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of permeability to better understand why amphibians are extremely sensitive to pollution.

In this activity (located at the top of the page), learners make an easy river strainer and see what they can catch.

In this Bob the Builder(TM)-themed activity, learners explore the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) by rotating through several activity stations.

In this activity, learners are invited to imagine the park of their dreams!
