In this chemistry activity, learners are asked to form a hypothesis about the behavior of milk as household detergents act upon it.

In this activity on page 4 of the PDF (Water in Our World), learners conduct some quick and easy tests to determine the differences between water and other liquids that look very similar to water.

In this activity on page 15 of the PDF, discover how materials and physical forces behave differently at the nanoscale.

In this activity, learners discover that there is space between molecules even in a cup "full" of water. They first fill a cup with marbles, and then add sand to fill the gaps between the marbles.

In this activity learners explore surface tension. Why are certain objects able to float on the surface of water and how do detergents break the surface tension of water?

In this three-part activity, learners play a game and conduct two simple experiments to explore water and surface tension. Learners will have fun discovering how water "sticks" together.

Learners explore how the attractive forces between water molecules create surface tension and allow certain objects to float on the surface of water.

Over the course of several days, learners explore the property of water that helps plants move water from roots to leaves or gives paper towels the capacity to soak up water.

In this chemistry activity, learners prepare two petri dishes, one filled with water and one filled with milk.
