In this activity, learners working in pairs saturate a cotton ball using water drops from an eyedropper to demonstrate the high water capacity of clouds.

In this sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.

In this activity, learners calculate their water usage (in cups and galloons) during an average shower. Learners also chart and analyze water usage during showers in their households.

In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.

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

In this water pollution activity, learners create pond water cultures and investigate the effects of adding chemicals or natural nutrients.

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

In this activity, learners will test cups full of potting soil, sand, and sphagnum moss to see which earth material is able to soak up the most water.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Bogs), learners will test cups full of potting soil, sand, and sphagnum moss to see which earth material is able to soak up the most water.

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

In this activity, learners practice the steps involved in a scientific investigation while learning why ice formations on land (not those on water) will cause a rise in sea level upon melting.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Nasturtium Leaves Activity) about surface tension.
