Learners create hard water by mixing Epsom salt and water. Then they compare what happens when soap solution is mixed with hard water and regular water.

In this physics activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will explore how energy from moving water can be used.

Learners add different liquids (water, salt water, alcohol, and detergent solution) to water and observe the different ways the different liquids combine with water.

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.

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

In this activity, learners build water-propelled engines from soft drink cans.

This three-part activity consists of an activity that groups of learners develop themselves, a given procedure, and an optional demonstration.

Learners design their own experiment to determine which M&M color dissolves the fastest in water.

In this hands-on activity, learners use the steps of the design process to create a hook to rescue a "space capsule" from the water.

Learners design their own experiment to investigate whether the temperature of the surrounding water affects the rate at which the colored coating dissolves from an M&M.

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

Learners observe and conduct experiments demonstrating the different properties of hot and cold materials.

In this activity on page 6 of the PDF, learners dissolve Epsom salt in water and discover that the resulting solution can be used to create a work of art.

Learners observe and record what happens when they manipulate bottles containing a liquid (water or corn syrup) and one or more objects (screw, nail, paper clip).

In this crafty chemistry activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make their own paper from used paper they may have otherwise thrown away.

In this activity, learners combine two substances (plaster of Paris and water) to make a cast of an object's imprint in clay.

In this fun hands-on activity, learners whip up a batch of cyber-dough (play dough) using math for measurements.

In this experiment, learners separate different types of molecules in marker inks (using a technique called "thin layer chromatography").
