A Funny Taste
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the different salinities of various sources of water by taste-testing.

Water, Water Everywhere
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners estimate how much water they think can be found in various locations on the Earth in all its states (solid, liquid, and gas) to discover the different water ratios in the Ea

The Water Cycle
Source Institutions
Did you know that the water we use today is the same water found on Earth millions of years ago? The Earth constantly uses and recycles water in a process called the water cycle.

Water: Clearly Unique!
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 4 of the PDF (Water in Our World), learners conduct some quick and easy tests to determine the differences between water and other liquids that look very similar to water.
Disappearing Water
Source Institutions
In this outdoor water activity, learners explore evaporation by painting with water and tracing puddles. Learners will discover that wet things become dry as the water evaporates.

Cool Trees
Source Institutions
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.

The Incredible Journey
Source Institutions
In this weather activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will explore the water cycle through an interactive game.

Heat Capacity: Can't Take the Heat?
Source Institutions
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.

What-a-cycle
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners act as water molecules and travel through parts of the water cycle to discover that it is more complex than just water moving from the ground to the atmosphere.

Sunny Day Painting
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore properties of water and watch evaporation happen by "painting" with water in the sun.

Frosty Glasses
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore why frost forms. They create their own frost using a solution of ice water and salt in a glass.
How Does Water Climb a Tree?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to explore how water flows up from a tree's roots to its leafy crown.

Supercooled Water Drops
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners touch supercooled water drops with an ice crystal and trigger the water drops to freeze instantly.

Amazon Water Cycle Roleplay
Source Institutions
In this creative roleplay activity, learners will explore the various processes of the water cycle using movement, sound, and props to aid in comprehension.

Sinking Water
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners float colored ice cubes in hot and cold water.

Differing Densities: Fresh and Salt Water
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners visualize the differences in water density and relate this to the potential consequences of increased glacial melting.

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

Make a Water Cycle Wristband
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners thread colored beads onto string. Each beach represent a process of the water cycle.

Instant Ice
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe a quick phase change as water rapidly goes from a liquid state to a solid state.

Cool It!
Source Institutions
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.
