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

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.

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

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

This creative lesson plan provides a visual way for learners to gain knowledge about the finite amount of fresh water on Earth and encourages the discussion of the various ways to conserve this resour

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 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.

In this math lesson, learners predict, interpret, and sketch graphs of functions related to the shapes of bottles. A measure of water is poured into a container.

In this hands-on activity, learners will construct a scuba diver that can float in order to explore how sea creatures stay neutrally buoyant in the ocean and to see what kinds of forces might be influ

This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.

This is written as a display, but can easily be adapted to a hands-on activity. Learners discover how all the parts of a diaper work together to keep babies dry and comfortable.

In this activity, learners design a device to solve a problem: how to get a ball out of a drain pipe.

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.

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

In this design challenge activity, learners design and build a solar hot water heater. Their goal is to create a heater that yields the highest temperature change.

Learners apply their knowledge of heat transfer to design two cans - one that will retain heat and one that will cool down quickly.

In this activity, learners try to float ink on the surface of water to create a pattern and then capture it with absorbent paper.

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.
