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

In this nanoscience activity, learners discover that it's easy to pour water out of a regular-sized cup, but not out of a miniature cup.

Learners are challenged to discover the relative densities of colored liquids to create a rainbow pattern in a test tube.

In this chemistry challenge, learners identify which plants have the enzyme "catalase" that breaks hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.

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, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.

In this activity, learners try pouring water out of a regular cup and a miniature cup. It’s harder than it sounds! Learners discover that different forces dominate at different size scales.

In this activity, learners use oil, water, food coloring and antacid tablets to create a bubbling lava lamp. Use this activity to introduce concepts related to density, hydrophobicity vs.

Visitors test solutions of water, sugar, salt, and hydrochloric acid and the solids salt and sugar. They clip leads from the hand generator to wires immersed in each substance.

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 activity, learners construct a device that allows them to look over ledges or around corners.

In this activity, learners design a device to solve a problem: how to get a ball out of a drain pipe.

In this activity, learners observe tide pool animals in a touch tank to consider how they survive.

In this experiment, learners test multiple food items to see if they are an acid or base using an indicator solution created with red cabbage.
