The Rain Man
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe the hydrologic cycle in action as water evaporates and condenses to form rain right before their eyes.
Dollar Bill Grab
Source Institutions
In this demonstration, learners observe as two cola bottles and a dollar bill are arranged in a specific order: one bottle, upside down and filled with water, is placed on top of another bottle, with

What's in the Water
Source Institutions
"What's in the Water" lets participants use tools to solve the mystery- what chemicals and compounds are in a sample of water?

Wiggly Water
Source Institutions
This is a simple and fun activity for learners to explore water and colors.

Weather Stations: Phase Change
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe the water cycle in action! Water vapor in a tumbler condenses on chilled aluminum foil — producing the liquid form of water familiar to us as rain and dew.

Physics Over the Sink: Water Glass Magic
Source Institutions
In this simple demonstration, learners investigate the properties of air pressure. Learners place an index card on top of a glass full of water, then invert the glass.

Twist and Spout
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make their own "tornado" using two soda bottles and water.

Toast a Mole!
Source Institutions
In this quick activity, learners drink Avogadro's number worth of molecules - 6.02x10^23 molecules!

It's a Gas!
Source Institutions
In this simple activity, learners see the production of a gas, which visibly fills up a balloon placed over the neck of a bottle.

Diet Light
Source Institutions
In this quick activity, learners observe how the added sugar in a can of soda affects its density and thus, its ability to float in water.

Under Pressure
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners examine how pressure affects water flow. In small groups, learners work with water and a soda bottle, and then relate their findings to pressure in the deep ocean.

Release the Grease!
Source Institutions
In this simple activity (on page 7 of the PDF), learners use water and liquid dish detergent to see which one removes lipstick better from an index card.

Find Out How Plants Use Water
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate how plants use water. By making the flowers change color, learners see how water moves up the stem to the leaves and the flowers.

Color-Changing Carnations
Source Institutions
Learners place cut flowers in colored water and observe how the flowers change. The flowers absorb the water through the stem and leaves.

The Scoop on Habitat
Source Institutions
Some aquatic organisms live in open water, while some live in soil at the bottom of a body of water.

Crystal Creations: Grow Spikes of Crystals in the Sun
Source Institutions
This activity shows you how to make amazing crystal spikes using Epsom salt and the sun.

Design a Submarine
Source Institutions
Learners act as engineers and design mini submarines that move in the water like real submarines.

Exploring Size: Ball Sorter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use sieves with different-sized holes to sort balls by size.

Do Sweat It!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore why humans sweat. Learners compare the effects of heat on a balloon filled with air and a balloon filled water.

Leaf it to Me
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe the effect of transpiration as water is moved from the ground to the atmosphere.
