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

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.

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 engineering activity, challenge learners to invent a water filter that cleans dirty water.

In this activity (located on page 10 of the PDF), learners explore the properties of spraying and dripping water, while making art.

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 play with surprising sand that doesn’t get wet! Learners explore how water behaves differently when it comes in contact with "magic sand" and regular sand.

This is a demonstration about how nature inspires nanotechnology. It is easily adapted into a hands-on activity for an individual or groups.

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

In this physics activity, learners build their own rockets out of film canisters and construction paper.

In this activity, learners separate materials based on their special properties to mimic the way recyclables are sorted at recycling centers.

In this experiment, learners examine the way oil affects bird feathers and test different cleanup methods to find out which works best.

In this physics related activity which requires adult supervision, learners make their own powerful water rocket and, with it, explore Newton's Third Law of Motion.

In this demonstration, learners discover that nanoparticles behave differently, in part because they have a high surface area to volume ratio.

In this activity (on page 5 of PDF), learners use dry ice and household materials to make scientifically accurate models of comets.
