A Little Drop of Water: Cohesion
Source Institutions
Learners explore water's property of cohesion through two investigations.

How Big is Small
Source Institutions
In this classic hands-on activity, learners estimate the length of a molecule by floating a fatty acid (oleic acid) on water.

Molecules in Motion
Source Institutions
"Molecules in Motion" explores how materials behave and change in a vacuum.

Indicating Electrolysis
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a simple electrolysis device. Then learners use an indicating solution to visualize hydrogen and oxygen molecules in water.

Breaking the Tension: Surface Tension 1
Source Institutions
Learners explore how the attractive forces between water molecules create surface tension and allow certain objects to float on the surface of water.

Stick to It: Adhesion II
Source Institutions
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.

Stuck on You: Adhesion
Source Institutions
Learners explore water adhesion and learn about why water molecules are more strongly attracted to some substances than others.
