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

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners explore surface tension by adding pennies to cups which are "full" of plain water or soapy water.

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.

Learners observe a bottle containing water and oil. They are invited to pick up the bottle and mix the contents together.

Learners discover that soap can be used to power a boat. Learners make a simple, flat boat model, put it in water, and then add a drop of detergent at the back of the boat.

In this water activity, learners explore how water drops behave on different surfaces.

In this activity (located on page 3 of the PDF), learners investigate the way water moves and how we can control and direct water.

In this water activity, learners discover ways to move water across the water table.

Learners compare the weight of equal volumes of wax, water, and clay. Learners discover that since the wax weighs less than an equal volume of water, it is less dense than water and will float.

Learners investigate how the temperature of water affects its density.

In this indoor or outdoor water activity, learners pour water from small cups to large cups and containers. In doing so, they discover water takes the shape of its container.

This warm weather activity introduces learners to the impact trees have on blocking the sun's heat and reducing temperature on the Earth's surface.

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF), the learner places a golf ball between salt water and colored fresh water. The golf ball is not as dense as the saltwater.

Many people get water from a source deep underground, called groundwater.

In this activity, learners explore healthy choices related to the liquids they drink. The importance of water and milk as essential nutrients for a healthy body is the focus of the experience.

Learners see that a carrot slice sinks in fresh water and floats in saltwater.

Learners create hard water by mixing Epsom salt and water. Then they compare what happens when soap solution is mixed with hard water and regular water.

In this physics activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will explore how energy from moving water can be used.

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

Experiment with liquids of different densities and create liquid layers. For example, oil and water have different densities: oil floats on water because it is less dense than water.
