In this environmental science activity (page 3 of the PDF), leaners will identify and explain the causes of erosion.

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

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 activity, learners discover that as the salinity of water increases, the density increases as well. Learners prove this by attempting to float fresh eggs in saltwater and freshwater.

In this quick activity, learners observe how the added sugar in a can of soda affects its density and thus, its ability to float in water.

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

Many people get water from a source deep underground, called groundwater.

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

This activity models some of the ways natural processes, such as erosion and sediment pollution, affect Earth’s landscape.

In this activity, learners will model the mechanical weathering and erosion of rocks in a stream or river.

Learners draw comic-style pictures to show the water cycle. From a starting picture, one learner draws what happens to the water in the next panel, then passes the comic strip to another learner.

This online simulation game explores the different consequences of water levels on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest.

In this activity, learners visualize the differences in water density and relate this to the potential consequences of increased glacial melting.

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

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

In this quick activity, learners observe how salinity and temperature affect the density of water, to better understand the Great Ocean Conveyor.

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

This activity (located on page 8 of the PDF) introduces learners to the concept of Non-point Source Pollution--what happens when rain washes garbage and other pollutants into rivers and lakes.

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 weather activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will explore the water cycle through an interactive game.
