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

Visitors mix water and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) in a large flask. They then add citric acid to the mixture and stopper the flask. The resulting reaction creates carbon dioxide gas.

In this activity, learners explore in what ways the shape of the land and the pull of gravity influence how water moves over Earth.

In this activity, learners investigate soil erosion. Learners set up a simulation to observe how water can change the land and move nutrients from one place to another.

Visitors separate a mixture of pebbles, salt crystals, and wood shavings by adding water and pouring the mixture through a strainer.

Visitors mix urea with water in one flask and mix calcium chloride with water in another flask. They observe that the urea flask gets cold and the calcium chloride flask gets hot.

Visitors prepare six solutions combining vinegar and ammonia that range incrementally from acid (all vinegar) to base (all ammonia).

In this multi-part activity learners examine non-point water pollution.

Visitors observe a bottle with a balloon attached around the mouth. The bottle contains a solution of yeast, sugar, and water.

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

In this activity, learners discover if carbon dioxide has an effect on temperature.

In this activity, learners are invited to imagine the park of their dreams!
