This activity has learners observe water and compare it to other liquids.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Water Slides) is a full inquiry investigation into speed and motion and takes place at a water park.

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

In this activity, learners build water-propelled engines from soft drink cans.

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 activity, learners will explore the density of an object in water. Learners will compare what happens to fruits and vegetables in regular and salt water.

In this activity, learners discover that they can create a lens from a water drop. Learners test their lens by looking at words or pictures.

In this activity, learners capture and observe planaria, which are worms that eat tiny pond critters.

In this activity, learners conduct a series of hands-on experiments that demonstrate how the working of plants' veins, known as capillary action, enables water to travel throughout the length of a pla

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.

If you got a big graduated or clear cylinder, water, a pipe, and a tuning fork, you've got a sound learning opportunity! Learn about resonance with this Exploratorium Science Snack.

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 an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Nasturtium Leaves Activity) about surface tension.

Learners place multiple M&M's in a plate of water to watch what happens as the candies dissolve.

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

In this activity on page 10 of the PDF, learners detect the amount of energy that can flow through a sodium chloride electrolyte solution with a light sensor.
