Some aquatic organisms live in open water, while some live in soil at the bottom of a body of water.

In this lab activity, learners explore how to initiate a density current. Learners measure six flasks with different concentrations of salt and water (colored blue).

In this outdoor, sunny day activity, learners experiment with paper leaf models to discover how some desert plants conserve water.

In this astrobiology activity (on page 11 of the PDF), learners consider what organisms need in order to live (water, nutrients, and energy).

Learners work in teams to design and build solar water heating devices that mimic those used in residences to capture energy in the form of solar radiation and convert it to thermal energy.

This experiment is designed to illustrate how fluids, including water, have the ability to flow.

In this outdoor activity, learners compare the moisture released from different kinds of leaves and from different parts of the same leaf, by observing the color change of cobalt chloride paper.

When it rains, water can collect on top of and seep into the ground. Water can also run downhill, carrying soil and pollution with it.

Lakes, streams and other freshwater bodies are a habitat for lots of living things, big and small.

How do scientists measure how clear or murky water in a lake is? How does water clarity (clearness) affect what lives in the lake?

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.
