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.

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

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

As a group, learners consider sources of water pollution to understand where pollution starts and where it ends up.

This Exploratorium activity can be used in many contexts because geysers are great opportunities for learning about heat and temperature changes as well as geological/space science phenomena.

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

Where rainwater goes after the rain stops? And why there are rivers and lakes in some parts of the land but not in others?

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.

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.

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.

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

In this activity, learners use objects they find on a nature and water to make creative frozen sculptures.

In this activity, learners create secret messages using a candle. Learners discover that watercolor paint is attracted to some materials, like paper fibers, but not others, like oil.

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

Learners see that a can of regular cola sinks while a can of diet cola floats. As a demonstration, bubble wrap is taped to the can of regular cola to make it float.

“Exploring the Solar System: Ice Orbs” is a hands-on activity in which visitors investigate a frozen orb, trying to learn about objects hidden inside.

In this activity, learners will explore how density is affected by temperature and how that can create currents.
