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

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

In this activity, learners see how many coins they can add to a full glass of water before the water overflows.

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.

In this water activity, learners explore how water drops behave on different surfaces.

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

Learners compare the weight of equal volumes of wax, water, and clay. Learners discover that since the wax weighs less than an equal volume of water, it is less dense than water and will float.

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,

Learners investigate how the temperature of water affects its density.

In this indoor or outdoor water activity, learners pour water from small cups to large cups and containers. In doing so, they discover water takes the shape of its container.

Learners explore water's property of cohesion through two investigations.

In this activity, learners conduct a simple experiment to see how electrically charged things like plastic attract electrically neutral things like water.

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

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.

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

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.
