In this activity (located on page 3 of the PDF), learners investigate the way water moves and how we can control and direct water.

In this activity, learners explore properties of water and watch evaporation happen by "painting" with water in the sun.

In this activity, learners investigate how different materials repel or absorb water. Learners use spray bottles to explore how everyday items like sponges, cardboard, feathers, etc.

In this activity, learners build a water squirter using a PVC pipe, dowel, and foam. This activity is great for the summer time and introduces learners to forces and water pressure.

In this sunny day activity, learners compare how a cup of water and a cup of tonic water reflect or refract light in the sun.

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.

In this activity, learners observe the effect of transpiration as water is moved from the ground to the atmosphere.

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

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners catch and observe water striders to explore their movement and feeding behaviors.

In this biology/ecology activity, learners construct a terrarium out of a tennis ball container. This terrarium is unique because it never has to be watered.

In this activity, learners investigate and compare the rate of drying in different conditions.

In this activity, learners explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners locate and study plants and animals in several freshwater pond habitats.

Learners place water and part of an antacid tablet in a film canister. The reaction creates a gas reaction that launches the film canister like a rocket.

In this outdoor, freshwater activity, learners explore the behavior and food preferences of crawdads (or crabs) by "fishing" for them with various baits.

In this outdoor game, learners role play predator and prey to explore the importance of keen hearing and silent stalking skills in the animal world.

In this wintertime outdoor activity, learners role play wolves tracking their prey by following scented trails.

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 observe tide pool animals in a touch tank to consider how they survive.

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