This activity offers learners and their families several ways to raise their awareness together about home water.

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

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.

Learners take a field trip along a local body of water and conduct a visual survey to discover information about local land use and water quality.

In this activity, learners calculate their water usage (in cups and galloons) during an average shower. Learners also chart and analyze water usage during showers in their households.

Learners work in teams to design and build solar water heating devices that mimic those used in residences to capture energy in the form of solar radiation and convert it to thermal energy.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Water Slides), learners will whip up some suds with a cup of water and a tablespoon of dish soap until the bubbles are stiff enough to star

In this activity, learners calculate the number of milliliters of water a nearby tree transpires per day.

In this engineering activity, challenge learners to invent a water filter that cleans dirty water.

Learners act as engineers and design mini submarines that move in the water like real submarines.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a boat that can hold 25 pennies (or 15 one inch metal washers) for at least ten seconds before sinking.

In this activity (located on page 10 of the PDF), learners explore the properties of spraying and dripping water, while making art.

In this activity, learners will test cups full of potting soil, sand, and sphagnum moss to see which earth material is able to soak up the most water.

In this activity, learners make water rockets to explore Newton's Third Law of Motion. Learners make the rockets out of plastic bottles and use a bicycle pump to pump them with air.

In this sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.

In this activity, learners will use static elecricity to bend a stream of water without touching it. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.

In this activity, learners discover how solar energy can be used to heat water.

In this activity, learners explore how civil engineers solved the challenge of moving water via irrigation.

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.
