Chemical Footprint—Family Activity
Source Institutions
In this multi-part activity learners examine non-point water pollution.
Exploring Products: Nano Sand
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how water behaves differently when it comes in contact with "nano sand" and regular sand.
Salt 'n Lighter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover that as the salinity of water increases, the density increases as well. Learners prove this by attempting to float fresh eggs in saltwater and freshwater.
Draggin' Boats
Source Institutions
Learners design, build, and test models of "dragon boats" made from up to three milk cartons.
Mystery Sand
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play with surprising sand that doesn’t get wet! Learners explore how water behaves differently when it comes in contact with "magic sand" and regular sand.
Magic Sand: Nanosurfaces
Source Institutions
This is an activity/demo in which learners are exposed to the difference bewteen hydrophobic surfaces (water repelling) and hydrophilic surfaces (water loving).
Exploring Products: Nano Fabrics
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized "whiskers" can protect clothing from stains.
Home Water Audit
Source Institutions
This activity offers learners and their families several ways to raise their awareness together about home water.
Marshmallow Models
Source Institutions
No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.
Build A Bee Bath
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use found natural materials to create a water haven for bees and other insects.
Pop Can "Hero Engine"
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build water-propelled engines from soft drink cans.
Make a Lake
Source Institutions
Where rainwater goes after the rain stops? And why there are rivers and lakes in some parts of the land but not in others?
Low-Tech Water Filter for High-Impact Clean
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners consider the water features they might enjoy at a community park--a pond, brook, water playground (or "sprayground"), or pool--and what happens to the water over time.
Build An Aqueduct
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use the design thinking process to design and build their own aqueduct, or water bridge.
Water Motor
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will explore how energy from moving water can be used.
Exploring Forces: Gravity
Source Institutions
In this nanoscience activity, learners discover that it's easy to pour water out of a regular-sized cup, but not out of a miniature cup.
