In this activity, learners simulate nature's water filtration system by devising a system that will filter out both visible and invisible pollutants from water.

Did you know that the water we use today is the same water found on Earth millions of years ago? The Earth constantly uses and recycles water in a process called the water cycle.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Water in Our World), learners make their own water treatment systems for cleaning water.

Learners explore water adhesion and learn about why water molecules are more strongly attracted to some substances than others.

Dig a hole, line it, fill it with fresh water, and you have a water hole: a good place to study colonization.

In this activity about water's cohesive and adhesive properties and why water molecules are attracted to each other, learners test if objects repel or absorb water.

In this water pollution activity, learners create pond water cultures and investigate the effects of adding chemicals or natural nutrients.

Water sticks to all kinds of things in nature — flowers, leaves, spider webs - and doesn't stick to others, such as a duck's back.

In this activity, learners visualize the differences in water density and relate this to the potential consequences of increased glacial melting.

In this activity, learners make their own heat waves in an aquarium.

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 about water solubility and density, learners use critical thinking skills to determine why water can dissolve some things and not others.

In this activity, learners discuss the different salinities of oceans, rivers and estuaries.

In this activity, learners discover the difficulty of ocean exploration by human beings as they investigate water pressure.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Water Slides) is a full inquiry investigation into speed and motion and takes place at a water park.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Nasturtium Leaves Activity) about surface tension.

In this activity on page 10 of the PDF, learners detect the amount of energy that can flow through a sodium chloride electrolyte solution with a light sensor.

In this quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS Wetlands Activity), learners will model how wetlands act as natural filters for the environment.

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.
