This is a simple and fun activity for learners to explore water and colors.

In this activity, learners explore the different salinities of various sources of water by taste-testing.

Learners see that a carrot slice sinks in fresh water and floats in saltwater.

Learners place multiple M&M's in a plate of water to watch what happens as the candies dissolve.

This is a quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under Nasturtium Leaves Activity) about surface tension.

In this activity, learners use simple materials to create giant bubbles.

Learners are challenged to discover the relative densities of colored liquids to create a rainbow pattern in a test tube.

In this activity about water's cohesive and adhesive properties and why water molecules are attracted to each other, learners test if objects repel or absorb water.

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 simulation, learners explore how ocean currents spread all kinds of pollution—including oil spills, sewage, pesticides and factory waste—far beyond where the pollution originates.

This activity provides instructions for using cornstarch and water to make an ooze which has the properties of both a solid and liquid.

In this activity, learners will write a secret message that only their friends will be able to read.

Learners discover that soap can be used to power a boat. Learners make a simple, flat boat model, put it in water, and then add a drop of detergent at the back of the boat.

Electrolysis is the breakdown of water into hydrogen and oxygen. This Exploratorium activity allows learners to visualize the process with an acid-based indicator.

In this quick activity about the properties of water (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Malformed Frogs), learners will use an eyedropper to slowly place one drop of water at a time onto a penny,

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.

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 about water solubility and density, learners use critical thinking skills to determine why water can dissolve some things and not others.

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

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.
