In this activity (located on page 6 of the PDF), learners explore the ways people access water in their homes.

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.

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

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

In this activity, learners consider the water features they might enjoy at a community park--a pond, brook, water playground (or "sprayground"), or pool--and what happens to the water over time.

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

In this activity, learners explore why frost forms. They create their own frost using a solution of ice water and salt in a glass.

In this activity, learners explore how engineering has developed various means to remove impurities from water.

In this activity, learners compare water pressure at different depths. Learners discover that water pressure increases with depth.

In this activity, learners will engineer a water irrigation system. Learners will create a ditch irrigation system -- or an acequia-- to move water with the help of gravity.

In this activity, learners discover that as the salinity of water increases, the density increases as well. Learners prove this by attempting to float fresh eggs in saltwater and freshwater.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Water Slides), learners will whip up some suds with a cup of water and a tablespoon of dish soap until the bubbles are stiff enough to star

In this activity, learners work in groups to build simple solar stills filled with salt water. After the stills are complete, learners observe what happens when they place the stills in the sun.

As a group, learners consider sources of water pollution to understand where pollution starts and where it ends up.

Learners see convection currents in action in this highly visual demonstration. Sealed bags of colored hot or cold water are immersed in tanks of water.

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

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