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

Learners place multiple M&M's in a plate of water to watch what happens as the candies dissolve.

This is a quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under Nasturtium Leaves Activity) about surface tension.

This is an activity/demo in which learners are exposed to the difference bewteen hydrophobic surfaces (water repelling) and hydrophilic surfaces (water loving).

In some parts of the world, lakes freeze during winter. In this activity learners will explore water’s unique properties of freezing and melting, and how these relate to density and temperature.

Does yeast breathe? Find out by watching how plastic bags filled with yeast, warm water and different amounts of sugar change over time.

Learners observe and compare the sizes of three toy “growing” crocodiles made from water-absorbent polymers. One is it its original state, dry, hard, and about 10cm long.

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

This activity provides instructions for using cornstarch and water to make an ooze which has the properties of both a solid and liquid.

In this activity, learners investigate the different salinity levels of oceans, rivers and estuaries.

In this activity learners explore surface tension. Why are certain objects able to float on the surface of water and how do detergents break the surface tension of water?

In this introductory demonstration and activity, learners are introduced to the concept of density as they explore a rock and a wooden block in water.

In this activity, learners explore how salt water freezes in comparison to fresh water.

In this activity/demonstration, learners observe what happens when two ping pong balls are suspended in the air by a hair dryer. Use this activity to demonstrate how rain drops grow by coalescence.

In this activity, learners add food coloring to hot and cold water in order to see how fluids at different temperatures move around in convection currents.

In this weather-related activity, learners make a portable cloud in a bottle.

In this investigation learners explore the differences between, and interdependence of, living and nonliving elements in a water ecosystem.

Learners mix liquid water with solid cornstarch. They investigate the slime produced, which has properties of both a solid and a liquid.
