In this activity, learners explore the different salinities of various sources of water by taste-testing.

In this activity, learners will observe laminar and turbulent flow of water using only a plastic bottle, liquid hand soap, food coloring and water.

In this activity, learners estimate how much water they think can be found in various locations on the Earth in all its states (solid, liquid, and gas) to discover the different water ratios in the Ea

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Water in Our World), learners make their own water treatment systems for cleaning water.

In this activity on page 4 of the PDF (Water in Our World), learners conduct some quick and easy tests to determine the differences between water and other liquids that look very similar to water.

Using two baby food jars, food coloring, and an index card, you'll 'marry' the jars to see how hot water and cold water mix.

This experiment describes how to create a "dribble bottle" which only leaks water when the cap is unscrewed. The full water bottle has a small hole made with a push pin.

In this activity, learners explore Boyle's Law and discover that water will boil at room temperature if its pressure is lowered.

In this outdoor water activity, learners explore evaporation by painting with water and tracing puddles. Learners will discover that wet things become dry as the water evaporates.

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 get a closer look at the shape of a drop of water and a drop of oil. Learners first drip water onto wax paper and examine the shape of separate drops from a side view.

In this activity, learners investigate the movement of water into and out of a polymer. Learners test the diffusion of water through gummy bears, which are made of sugar and gelatin (a polymer).

In this quick activity about the properties of water (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Malformed Frogs), learners will use an eyedropper to slowly place one drop of water at a time onto a penny,

Why is ocean water sometimes the warmest when the average daily air temperature starts to drop? In this activity, learners explore the differing heat capacities of water and air using real data.

In this activity, learners make water-walking critters using thin wire, and then test how many paper clips these critters can carry without sinking.

In this activity, learners explore properties of water and watch evaporation happen by "painting" with water in the sun.

In this activity, learners explore the forces at work in water. Learners experiment to find out what happens to pepper in water when they touch it with bar soap and liquid detergent.

In this activity, learners explore why frost forms. They create their own frost using a solution of ice water and salt in a glass.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to explore how water flows up from a tree's roots to its leafy crown.
