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

In this activity, learners sublimate dry ice and then taste the carbon dioxide gas.

In this activity, learners make their own heat waves in an aquarium.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Water Slides) is a full inquiry investigation into speed and motion and takes place at a water park.

In this lab, learners experience how dolphins and other echolocating animals use their senses to locate and identify objects without using their sense of sight.

In this activity about light and refraction, learners make a lens and magnifying glass by filling a bowl with water.

In this activity (12th on the page), learners investigate their ability to discriminate (see) different colors.

In this fun and in depth hands-on experiment, learners test various liquid samples (distilled water, lemon juice, vinegar, and baking soda mixed with water) to determine their pH levels and identify e

In this activity (12th activity on the page), learners conduct an experiment to demonstrate how muscles are constantly feeding information to the brain about what they are doing.

In this optics activity, learners explore how light bends and affects what we see.

In this optics activity, learners use water to make a coin "appear" and "disappear." Use this activity to demonstrate how light refracts and introduce light as waves.

In this optics activity, learners explore color by examining color dots through colored water and the light of a flashlight.

In this activity, learners create a water prism to break light into the seven colors of the rainbow.

In this optics activity, learners make a lens and explore how the eye manipulates the light that enters it.

In this activity, learners discover how sweating makes us feel cooler. Learners put on one damp sock and one dry sock and sit in front of a fan.

In this activity, learners use simple materials to create giant bubbles.

In this optics activity, learners use glass and water to demonstrate total internal reflection (TIR).

In this activity, learners create a "mini sky" in a glass of water in a dark room.

This is a quick activity/demonstration that introduces learners to the concept of index of refraction. Learners place stirring rods in a jar of water and notice they can see them clearly.

In this activity, learners create a xylophone by filling glasses with different amounts of water and tapping them with a metal spoon.
