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

In this activity, learners use a laser pointer to project a microscopic image of a liquid sample suspended from the tip of a syringe.

In this quick activity, learners drink Avogadro's number worth of molecules - 6.02x10^23 molecules!

In this activity, learners of all ages can become food scientists by experimenting with flour and water to make basic pasta.

Electrolysis is the breakdown of water into hydrogen and oxygen. This Exploratorium activity allows learners to visualize the process with an acid-based indicator.

This activity offers learners and their families several ways to raise their awareness together about home water.

In this activity, learners use found natural materials to create a water haven for bees and other insects.

This is an activity/demo in which learners are exposed to the difference bewteen hydrophobic surfaces (water repelling) and hydrophilic surfaces (water loving).

Learners observe a flask with a balloon attached over the mouth and inverted inside the flask.

In this activity, learners explore Boyle's Law and discover that water will boil at room temperature if its pressure is lowered.

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

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.

In this lab, learners grow broad bean (also called fava bean) plants in three EarthBoxes for a few weeks before exposing one to wind (using a fan), another to heat (using a lamp), and the third to not

In this activity, learners discover how solar energy can be used to heat water.

In this activity, learners will discover why there are holes in bread.

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 experiment, learners examine how pressure affects water flow. In small groups, learners work with water and a soda bottle, and then relate their findings to pressure in the deep ocean.

Why is ocean water sometimes the warmest when the average daily air temperature starts to drop? In this activity, learners explore the differing heat capacities of water and air using real data.

In this activity, learners use water, oil, and food coloring to observe a chemical reaction that creates a shower of colors inside of a glass.
