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

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

This is a simple and fun activity for learners to explore water and colors.

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 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.

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

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

In this simple activity, learners see the production of a gas, which visibly fills up a balloon placed over the neck of a bottle.

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.

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.

In this activity, learners work in groups to build simple solar stills filled with salt water. After the stills are complete, learners observe what happens when they place the stills in the sun.

Learners investigate the properties of the liquids in two bottles. One contains layers of oil and water, and one contains oil, water, and soap.

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.

Learners use filter paper and water to analyze six different markers. They mark the paper with ink, and dip the paper in water. The water travels up the paper and dissolved ink travels with it.

Learners place cut flowers in colored water and observe how the flowers change. The flowers absorb the water through the stem and leaves.

In this physics activity, learners conduct two experiments to explore free-falling.

Learners see convection currents in action in this highly visual demonstration. Sealed bags of colored hot or cold water are immersed in tanks of water.

Learners analyze mixtures of dyes using filter paper chromatography. They place spots of the different dyes at the bottom of a piece of filter paper, and hang the paper to touch the surface of water.

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