In this activity, learners observe the hydrologic cycle in action as water evaporates and condenses to form rain right before their eyes.

This is a simple and fun activity for learners to explore water and colors.

In this activity, learners observe the water cycle in action! Water vapor in a tumbler condenses on chilled aluminum foil — producing the liquid form of water familiar to us as rain and dew.

In this activity, learners make their own "tornado" using two soda bottles and water.

In this quick activity, learners observe how the added sugar in a can of soda affects its density and thus, its ability to float in water.

In this activity, learners investigate how plants use water. By making the flowers change color, learners see how water moves up the stem to the leaves and the flowers.

Learners place cut flowers in colored water and observe how the flowers change. The flowers absorb the water through the stem and leaves.

Some aquatic organisms live in open water, while some live in soil at the bottom of a body of water.

In this activity, learners observe the effect of transpiration as water is moved from the ground to the atmosphere.

In this activity, learners capture and observe planaria, which are worms that eat tiny pond critters.

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

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

In this simple activity, learners explore ocean waves. To find out if water moves forward toward the shore, learners create waves in a simulated ocean (small aquarium tank of water).

In this quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS Wetlands Activity), learners will model how wetlands act as natural filters for the environment.

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.

In this activity, learners model atmospheric convection currents using food coloring, water, and clear cups. Activity includes step-by-step instructions, STEM connections, and more.

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

In this activity, learners make a model of the hot water of a deep sea vent in the cold water of the ocean to learn about one of the ocean's most amazing and bizarre underwater habitats.
