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.

If you got a big graduated or clear cylinder, water, a pipe, and a tuning fork, you've got a sound learning opportunity! Learn about resonance with this Exploratorium Science Snack.

In this activity, learners observe the effect of transpiration as water is moved from the ground to the atmosphere.

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

In this activity, learners see how many coins they can add to a full glass of water before the water overflows.

Test the buoyancy of an aluminum foil boat and an aluminum foil ball. Why does the same material in different shapes sink or float?

In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized "whiskers" can protect clothing from stains.

In this activity, learners are challenged to lift a floating ice cube out of a glass of water using just one end of a piece of string.

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

No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.

In this simulation activity, learners observe what can happen when ocean waves churn up water and oil from an oil spill.

In this activity, challenge learners to predict and investigate how many water drops they can fit on one penny.

In this weather activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will explore the water cycle through an interactive game.

This activity shows you how to make amazing crystal spikes using Epsom salt and the sun.

In this activity, learners observe the hydrologic cycle in action as water evaporates and condenses to form rain right before their eyes.

In this activity, learners build water-propelled engines from soft drink cans.

In this activity, learners act as water molecules and travel through parts of the water cycle to discover that it is more complex than just water moving from the ground to the atmosphere.

In this activity, learners estimate how much water they think can be found in various locations on the Earth in all its states (solid, liquid, and gas) to discover the different water ratios in the Ea

This is an activity about turbidity, or the amount of sediment suspended in water.

In this activity, learners explore why humans sweat. Learners compare the effects of heat on a balloon filled with air and a balloon filled water.
