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

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners explore surface tension by adding pennies to cups which are "full" of plain water or soapy water.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Water in Our World), learners make their own water treatment systems for cleaning water.

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.

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

Learners explore how the attractive forces between water molecules create surface tension and allow certain objects to float on the surface of water.

Water treatment on a large scale enables the supply of clean drinking water to communities.

Learners experiment with water gel crystals, or sodium polyacrylate crystals, which absorb hundreds of times their weight in water. When in pure water, the water gel crystals cannot be seen.

In this quick activity about the properties of water (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Malformed Frogs), learners will use an eyedropper to slowly place one drop of water at a time onto a penny,

Over the course of several days, learners explore the property of water that helps plants move water from roots to leaves or gives paper towels the capacity to soak up water.

Learners explore water adhesion and learn about why water molecules are more strongly attracted to some substances than others.

In this activity about water's cohesive and adhesive properties and why water molecules are attracted to each other, learners test if objects repel or absorb water.

Water sticks to all kinds of things in nature — flowers, leaves, spider webs - and doesn't stick to others, such as a duck's back.

In this activity, learners explore the forces at work in water. Learners experiment to find out what happens to pepper in water when they touch it with bar soap and liquid detergent.

Learners see that a carrot slice sinks in fresh water and floats in saltwater.

Learners create hard water by mixing Epsom salt and water. Then they compare what happens when soap solution is mixed with hard water and regular water.

In this activity, learners add different liquids to water and apply their working definition of “dissolving” to their observations.

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

In this three-part activity, learners play a game and conduct two simple experiments to explore water and surface tension. Learners will have fun discovering how water "sticks" together.

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