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

In this outdoor water activity, learners explore how to change the direction of water flow. Learners make puddles in dirt or use existing puddles and sticks to make water flow.

In this activity, learners use the design thinking process to design and build their own aqueduct, or water bridge.

In this activity, learners discover the difficulty of ocean exploration by human beings as they investigate water pressure.

In this activity, learners will use simple materials to explore centripetal force and variables by swinging a cup of water without having the water spill out.

In this activity, learners conduct a series of hands-on experiments that demonstrate how the working of plants' veins, known as capillary action, enables water to travel throughout the length of a pla

In this activity, learners will make fish cutouts that propel through the water with the help of surface tension.

This is an activity about Newton's First Law of Motion - a body in motion tends to stay in motion, or a body at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.

In this quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Balloon Fiesta Activity), learners will see the effects of convection and understand what makes hot air balloons rise.

Learners follow directions to construct a water-powered electrical generator using a turbine made from plastic spoons.

In this activity, learners explore and compare the buoyant properties of materials found in nature and in human-made materials.

In this physics activity, learners build their own rockets out of film canisters and construction paper.

In this activity, learners test how cornstarch and glitter in water move when disturbed. Learners compare their observations with videos of Jupiter's and Earth's storm movements.

In this physics related activity which requires adult supervision, learners make their own powerful water rocket and, with it, explore Newton's Third Law of Motion.

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