In this activity (located on page 6 of the PDF), learners explore the ways people access water in their homes.

Learners discover that soap can be used to power a boat. Learners make a simple, flat boat model, put it in water, and then add a drop of detergent at the back of the boat.

Many people get water from a source deep underground, called groundwater.

Experiment with liquids of different densities and create liquid layers. For example, oil and water have different densities: oil floats on water because it is less dense than water.

This creative lesson plan provides a visual way for learners to gain knowledge about the finite amount of fresh water on Earth and encourages the discussion of the various ways to conserve this resour

In this activity, learners use objects they find on a nature and water to make creative frozen sculptures.

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 will use simple materials to explore centripetal force and variables by swinging a cup of water without having the water spill out.

Glare from the sun and ripples from the wind can make it hard to see what's below the surface of a body of water.

By building a simple watershed with paper and markers and then using a spray bottle to simulate precipitation, learners will understand how pollution accumulates in our water sources, especially from

This is an activity/demo in which learners are exposed to the difference bewteen hydrophobic surfaces (water repelling) and hydrophilic surfaces (water loving).

This activity provides instructions for using cornstarch and water to make an ooze which has the properties of both a solid and liquid.

In this activity, learners will make fish cutouts that propel through the water with the help of surface tension.

This is an activity about turbidity, or the amount of sediment suspended in water.

In this physics activity, learners will explore the concept of buoyancy, especially as it relates to density.

In this activity, learners explore the relationship between cooling water vapor and condensation. Learners investigate condensation forming on the outside of a cold cup.

This is an activity about our sense of smell and how it compares to sharks' super noses. Learners will create varying solutions of water and perfume.

In this activity (on pages 4-5), learners make fake snow by adding water to the super-absorbant chemical from diapers, sodium polyacrylate.

In this activity, learners make film canister rocket ships. A fin pattern is glued onto the outside of the canister, and fuel (water and half an antacid tablet) is mixed inside the canister.
