This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Water Clean-up Activity) about the use of reduction agents to decontaminate ground water.

In this activity, learners discuss the different salinities of oceans, rivers and estuaries.

In this activity, learners discover the difficulty of ocean exploration by human beings as they investigate water pressure.

What causes frost to form on the outside of a cold container? In this activity, learners discover that liquid water can change states and freeze to become ice.

In this activity, learners use open inquiry to learn about the process of science as well as gain experience regarding the Law of Conservation of Mass, dissolution, and density.

In this activity, learners observe the effect of transpiration as water is moved from the ground to the atmosphere.

Glare from the sun and ripples from the wind can make it hard to see what's below the surface of a body of water.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a boat that can hold 25 pennies (or 15 one inch metal washers) for at least ten seconds before sinking.

In this activity, learners investigate convection by using food coloring and water of different temperatures.

In this simulation activity, learners observe what can happen when ocean waves churn up water and oil from an oil spill.

Learners build models to learn about the special cells and structures that plants use to move water from their roots up through the stems and leaves.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of density-driven currents (thermohaline circulation) and how these currents are affected by climate change.

In this activity, learners create a freshwater ecosystem in a large plastic bottle. Learners cut and prepare bottles, then fill with water, aquatic plants, snails and fish.

This is a quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under Nasturtium Leaves Activity) about surface tension.

In this activity (located on page 10 of the PDF), learners explore the properties of spraying and dripping water, while making art.

By building a simple watershed with paper and markers and then using a spray bottle to simulate precipitation, learners will understand how pollution accumulates in our water sources, especially from

In some parts of the world, lakes freeze during winter. In this activity learners will explore water’s unique properties of freezing and melting, and how these relate to density and temperature.

In this activity, learners investigate the different salinity levels of oceans, rivers and estuaries.

In this activity, learners explore how salt water freezes in comparison to fresh water.

In this investigation learners explore the differences between, and interdependence of, living and nonliving elements in a water ecosystem.
