This activity explores the basic workings of a siphon, which is the core technology that makes toilets work.

In this hands-on activity, learners use the steps of the design process to create a hook to rescue a "space capsule" from the water.

Learners build models of sinkholes to gain an intuitive knowledge of their physical aspects.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a boat that can hold 25 pennies (or 15 one inch metal washers) for at least ten seconds before sinking.

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 hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.

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

In this physics activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will explore how energy from moving water can be used.
