Learners explore water's property of cohesion through two investigations.

In this activity, learners investigate the different salinity levels of oceans, rivers and estuaries.

In this activity, learners discuss the different salinities of oceans, rivers and estuaries.

Learners demonstrate how water can distort, refract and magnify light.

In an investigation called "Shape It!" learners craft tiny boats out of clay, set them afloat on water and then add weight loads to them, in order to explore: how objects stay afloat in water; what th

In this investigation learners explore the differences between, and interdependence of, living and nonliving elements in a water ecosystem.

In this investigation, learners explore the force known as buoyancy by placing various objects into water and observing how they behave (for example, which sink more quickly, which float, how much wat

In this activity learners explore surface tension. Why are certain objects able to float on the surface of water and how do detergents break the surface tension of water?

Did you know that the water we use today is the same water found on Earth millions of years ago? The Earth constantly uses and recycles water in a process called the water cycle.

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.

Water sticks to all kinds of things in nature — flowers, leaves, spider webs - and doesn't stick to others, such as a duck's back.

In this activity, learners create a freshwater ecosystem in a large plastic bottle. Learners cut and prepare bottles, then fill with water, aquatic plants, snails and fish.

Learners explore capillary action in plants (such as plants ability to move water from roots to leaves) in an investigation called Paper Blooms.

Learners explore water adhesion and learn about why water molecules are more strongly attracted to some substances than others.
