This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Water Clean-up Activity) about the use of reduction agents to decontaminate ground water.

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

In this activity, learners use sieves with different-sized holes to sort balls by size.

Learners act as engineers and design mini submarines that move in the water like real submarines.

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.

In this activity, learners build water-propelled engines from soft drink cans.

This activity explores the basic workings of a siphon, which is the core technology that makes toilets work.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a boat that can hold 25 pennies (or 15 one inch metal washers) for at least ten seconds before sinking.

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

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 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.

Some bugs can walk on the surface of a lake, stream, river, pond or ocean.

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.

In this quick activity about pollutants and groundwater (page 2 of PDF under Water Clean-up Activity), learners build a model well with a toilet paper tube.

Electrolysis is the breakdown of water into hydrogen and oxygen. This Exploratorium activity allows learners to visualize the process with an acid-based indicator.

In this activity, learners use found natural materials to create a water haven for bees and other insects.

Design a vessel that tests the limits of wind power given a set of off the shelf and recycled materials.

As a model of acid rain, learners water plants with three different solutions: water only, vinegar only, vinegar-water mixture.

In a class demonstration, learners observe a simple water cycle model to better understand its role in pollutant transport.
