Go With the Flow
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will observe laminar and turbulent flow of water using only a plastic bottle, liquid hand soap, food coloring and water.
Disappearing Water
Source Institutions
In this outdoor water activity, learners explore evaporation by painting with water and tracing puddles. Learners will discover that wet things become dry as the water evaporates.

Go with the Flow
Source Institutions
Learners draw comic-style pictures to show the water cycle. From a starting picture, one learner draws what happens to the water in the next panel, then passes the comic strip to another learner.

Sunny Day Painting
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore properties of water and watch evaporation happen by "painting" with water in the sun.

Make a Water Cycle Wristband
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners thread colored beads onto string. Each beach represent a process of the water cycle.

Wiggly Water
Source Institutions
This is a simple and fun activity for learners to explore water and colors.

Wet Art
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 10 of the PDF), learners explore the properties of spraying and dripping water, while making art.

Chromatography Observations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how water affects marker on filter paper. Learners will use science process skills such as making observations and predictions as they explore color.

Radial Chromatography
Source Institutions
How many colors make black? Gather as many water soluble black markers as you can find.

Tissue Paper Spray Art
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe color mixing and absorbency using colored tissue paper and spray bottles.
