This activity offers learners and their families several ways to raise their awareness together about home water.

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 activity (located on page 8 of the PDF) introduces learners to the concept of Non-point Source Pollution--what happens when rain washes garbage and other pollutants into rivers and lakes.

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

In this activity, learners act as water molecules and travel through parts of the water cycle to discover that it is more complex than just water moving from the ground to the atmosphere.

In this activity, learners calculate their water usage (in cups and galloons) during an average shower. Learners also chart and analyze water usage during showers in their households.

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 investigation, learners plant seeds in a 2-liter bottle filled with soil that is connected to a water source below. Over the next few weeks, learners observe how the plants grow.

In this activity, learners observe the hydrologic cycle in action as water evaporates and condenses to form rain right before their eyes.

Learners investigate the properties of the liquids in two bottles. One contains layers of oil and water, and one contains oil, water, and soap.

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

In this activity, learners observe the effect of transpiration as water is moved from the ground to the atmosphere.

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.

In this activity, learners capture and observe planaria, which are worms that eat tiny pond critters.

In this simulation activity, learners observe what can happen when ocean waves churn up water and oil from an oil spill.

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

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

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.
