Drip Drop
Source Institutions
In this water activity, learners explore how water drops behave on different surfaces.

From Here to There
Source Institutions
In this water activity, learners discover ways to move water across the water table.

Sink or Float?
Source Institutions
In this water activity, learners test which objects float and which sink. Learners discover that objects behave differently in water.

Boats Afloat
Source Institutions
In this water activity, learners build boats that float and sink. First, learners listen to the book, "Who Sank the Boat" and practice making predictions throughout the story.

Exploring Products: Nano Sand
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how water behaves differently when it comes in contact with "nano sand" and regular sand.

Pop Rockets
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make film canister rocket ships. A fin pattern is glued onto the outside of the canister, and fuel (water and half an antacid tablet) is mixed inside the canister.

Bend a Carrot
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the process of osmosis by adding salt to a sealed bag of raw carrots and comparing it to a control.

Polishing Pennies
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners try different liquids to see which ones clean pennies best. Liquids to try include water, lemon juice, cola, vinegar, and dishwashing detergent.

Waterscope Wonders
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create a magnifying glass called a waterscope, using water and household items, to examine various objects.

Exploring Materials: Thin Films
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a colorful bookmark using a super thin layer of nail polish on water. Learners discover that a thin film creates iridescent, rainbow colors.

Building A Storm Drain
Source Institutions
In this design challenge, learners design a storm drain cover that catches litter to protect waterways to learn about how local actions can have system-level effects.

Potion Commotion
Source Institutions
In this hands-on science experiment, students combine their understanding of the different states of matter and the characteristics of various chemical reactions.

Spaghetti Strength
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners explore how engineers characterize building materials.

Surface Area
Source Institutions
In this demonstration, learners discover that nanoparticles behave differently, in part because they have a high surface area to volume ratio.
