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.

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

Learners investigate one factor affecting reaction rates: temperature. In a darkened room, two identical lightsticks are placed in water -- one in hot water and one in cold water.

Learners investigate how the temperature of water affects its density.

This warm weather activity introduces learners to the impact trees have on blocking the sun's heat and reducing temperature on the Earth's surface.

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 touch supercooled water drops with an ice crystal and trigger the water drops to freeze instantly.

In this experiment, learners float colored ice cubes in hot and cold water.

In this activity, learners visualize the differences in water density and relate this to the potential consequences of increased glacial melting.

This activity about density provides instructions for making a miniature "lava lite" with just salt, oil, water, and food coloring.

In this activity, learners use objects they find on a nature and water to make creative frozen sculptures.

In this activity, learners thread colored beads onto string. Each beach represent a process of the water cycle.

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, learners will explore the water cycle by creating a small atmosphere.

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

Learners make a refrigerator that works without electricity. The pot-in-pot refrigerator works by evaporation: a layer of sand is placed between two terra cotta pots and thoroughly soaked with water.

In this activity, learners observe the hydrologic cycle in action as water evaporates and condenses to form rain right before their eyes.

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

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.

In this activity, learners create a biosphere in a baggie.
