Learners take on the role of environmental engineers as they design water filters.

In this physics activity, learners conduct two experiments to explore free-falling.

Learners are challenged to discover the relative densities of colored liquids to create a rainbow pattern in a test tube.

The Ancient Egyptians used a naturally-occurring salt from the banks of the Nile River, called natron, to mummify their dead.

In this hands-on activity, learners will construct a scuba diver that can float in order to explore how sea creatures stay neutrally buoyant in the ocean and to see what kinds of forces might be influ

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

In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.

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 water pollution activity, learners create pond water cultures and investigate the effects of adding chemicals or natural nutrients.

In this activity, learners use the design thinking process to design and build their own aqueduct, or water bridge.

In this activity, learners make their own heat waves in an aquarium.

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 (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Bogs), learners will test cups full of potting soil, sand, and sphagnum moss to see which earth material is able to soak up the most water.

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

In this sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.

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

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

In this activity, learners will test cups full of potting soil, sand, and sphagnum moss to see which earth material is able to soak up the most water.

In this activity, learners visualize the differences in water density and relate this to the potential consequences of increased glacial melting.

In this activity about saturation (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Sand Dunes), learners will build a series of sand castle towers using a 16 oz cup.
