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

In this activity, learners investigate the movement of water into and out of a polymer. Learners test the diffusion of water through gummy bears, which are made of sugar and gelatin (a polymer).

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

Learners work in teams to design and build solar water heating devices that mimic those used in residences to capture energy in the form of solar radiation and convert it to thermal energy.

In this easy chemistry activity, learners submerge pennies in different liquids (water, lemon juice, vinegar, liquid hand soap, salt water, and baking soda mixed with water) to observe which best clea

Learners build models to learn about the special cells and structures that plants use to move water from their roots up through the stems and leaves.

In this lab (Activity #2 on page), learners compare bacteria growth on two petri dishes containing nutrient agar. Learners touch the doors, faucets, etc.

In this lab, learners grow broad bean (also called fava bean) plants in three EarthBoxes for a few weeks before exposing one to wind (using a fan), another to heat (using a lamp), and the third to not

In this activity related to Archimedes' Principle, learners use water displacement to compare the volume of an expanded gummy bear with a gummy bear in its original condition.

In this combination chemistry and physics activity, learners explore water absorption in dried beans or peas and learn how this affects their physical properties.

In this lab (Activity #1 on page), learners compare bacteria growth on two petri dishes containing nutrient agar: one that has been touched by a finger washed only with water and one that has been tou

This lesson focuses on surface area and how the shape of sugar crystals may differ as they are grown from sugars of different coarseness.

In this four-day activity, learners grow bacteria and/or fungi from a variety of locations and compare the results.

In this activity, learners explore chemistry and the microbial world by making their own sourdough starter and bread at home using only flour and water.

In this laboratory activity, learners design an experiment to evaluate how environmental factors influence the growth of molds.

In this activity, learners are introduced to challenges of maintaining temperatures while living in space.
