A Funny Taste
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the different salinities of various sources of water by taste-testing.

Walk On Water Bugs
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 29-35), learners examine water pollution and filtration.

Water, Water Everywhere
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners estimate how much water they think can be found in various locations on the Earth in all its states (solid, liquid, and gas) to discover the different water ratios in the Ea
When is a Glass of Water Really Full?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners see how many coins they can add to a full glass of water before the water overflows.

The Water Cycle
Source Institutions
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.

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

Water: Clearly Unique!
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 4 of the PDF (Water in Our World), learners conduct some quick and easy tests to determine the differences between water and other liquids that look very similar to water.

Breaking the Tension: Surface Tension 1
Source Institutions
Learners explore how the attractive forces between water molecules create surface tension and allow certain objects to float on the surface of water.

Comparing the Density of an Object to the Density of Water
Source Institutions
Learners compare the weight of equal volumes of wax, water, and clay. Learners discover that since the wax weighs less than an equal volume of water, it is less dense than water and will float.

Penny Drop
Source Institutions
In this quick activity about the properties of water (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Malformed Frogs), learners will use an eyedropper to slowly place one drop of water at a time onto a penny,

Changing the Density of a Liquid: Heating and Cooling
Source Institutions
Learners investigate how the temperature of water affects its density.

A Little Drop of Water: Cohesion
Source Institutions
Learners explore water's property of cohesion through two investigations.

Cool Trees
Source Institutions
This warm weather activity introduces learners to the impact trees have on blocking the sun's heat and reducing temperature on the Earth's surface.

The Incredible Journey
Source Institutions
In this weather activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will explore the water cycle through an interactive game.

Electrostatic Water Attraction
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct a simple experiment to see how electrically charged things like plastic attract electrically neutral things like water.

Stuck on You: Adhesion
Source Institutions
Learners explore water adhesion and learn about why water molecules are more strongly attracted to some substances than others.

What-a-cycle
Source Institutions
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.
What's So Special about Water: Absorption
Source Institutions
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.

Stick to It: Adhesion II
Source Institutions
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.
Pepper Scatter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the forces at work in water. Learners experiment to find out what happens to pepper in water when they touch it with bar soap and liquid detergent.
