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

This warm weather activity introduces learners to the impact trees have on blocking the sun's heat and reducing temperature on the Earth's surface.

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 activity, learners use the design thinking process to design and build their own aqueduct, or water bridge.

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.

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

This activity shows you how to make amazing crystal spikes using Epsom salt and 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 activity, learners use tonic water to detect ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun and explore the concept of fluorescence.

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 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 outdoor activity/field trip, learners explore an aquatic site such as a pond, lake, stream, river or seashore to find and investigate plants and animals that live in water.

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