In this activity (on page 2 of PDF), learners mix oil and water. Then, they add soap and observe what changes! The activity demonstrates how oil and water don't mix, except when soap is added.

In this activity, learners thread colored beads onto string. Each beach represent a process of the water cycle.

In this demonstration, learners observe as two cola bottles and a dollar bill are arranged in a specific order: one bottle, upside down and filled with water, is placed on top of another bottle, with

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.

This is an online activity about acceleration. Learners will choose a speed and an angle in order to help a water-skier named Fonzie use a ramp to clear a shark.

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 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 activity, learners are challenged to lift a floating ice cube out of a glass of water using just one end of a piece of string.

Perform this classic inertia demonstration to illustrate the transfer of potential energy to kinetic energy.

In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of density and pressure. A "diver" constructed out of a piece of straw and Blu-Tack will bob inside a bottle filled with water.

In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners illustrate the effect of the weight of air over our heads.

In this activity, learners investigate how changing the center of gravity of a balloon affects how it travels. Learners fill a balloon with a little bit of water and insert into an empty balloon.

In this activity, learners will explore light and rainbows with this easy setup! Learners will only need a cup of water, some paper and a flashlight.

Learners place water and part of an antacid tablet in a film canister. The reaction creates a gas reaction that launches the film canister like a rocket.

In this activity, learners will test soil content using their sample, some water and a container that seals.

In this optics activity, learners use water to make a coin "appear" and "disappear." Use this activity to demonstrate how light refracts and introduce light as waves.

In this physics demonstration, learners will be surprised when a handkerchief holds water in an upside-down glass.

In this activity about phase change and condensation, learners boil water in an empty pop bottle in the microwave.

In this activity, learners create a water prism to break light into the seven colors of the rainbow.

In this optics activity, learners use glass and water to demonstrate total internal reflection (TIR).
