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

In this biology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will explore how plants turn sunlight into food through a process called photosynthesis.

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

In this activity, learners explore how salt water freezes in comparison to fresh water.

In this activity, learners will discover why there are holes in bread.

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.

The Ancient Egyptians used a naturally-occurring salt from the banks of the Nile River, called natron, to mummify their dead.

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

In this astrobiology activity (on page 11 of the PDF), learners consider what organisms need in order to live (water, nutrients, and energy).

In this investigation, learners plant seeds in a 2-liter bottle filled with soil that is connected to a water source below. Over the next few weeks, learners observe how the plants grow.

In this activity, learners make a model of the hot water of a deep sea vent in the cold water of the ocean to learn about one of the ocean's most amazing and bizarre underwater habitats.

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

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

In this outdoor activity, learners compare the moisture released from different kinds of leaves and from different parts of the same leaf, by observing the color change of cobalt chloride paper.

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.

This is an activity about turbidity, or the amount of sediment suspended in water.

In this activity, learners find out what happens when they cover leaves with pieces of black construction paper. This activity shows learners that plants need sunlight to survive.

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