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

In this activity, learners investigate how different materials repel or absorb water. Learners use spray bottles to explore how everyday items like sponges, cardboard, feathers, etc.

Some aquatic organisms live in open water, while some live in soil at the bottom of a body of water.

In this physics activity, learners conduct two experiments to explore free-falling.

In this activity, learners investigate and compare the rate of drying in different conditions.

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.

In this activity, learners explore properties of water and watch evaporation happen by "painting" with water in the sun.

In this activity, learners explore and compare the buoyant properties of materials found in nature and in human-made materials.

In this outdoor activity, learners simulate an oil spill using popcorn (both oil and popcorn float on water), and estimate the spill's impact on the environment.

In this design-based lesson, learners study flood dynamics as they modify a riverbed with blockages or levees to simulate real-world scenarios.

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

In this activity, learners explore water pressure by conducting an experiment with a garden hose. Learners build a testing apparatus and create PVC nozzles with different sized holes.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Water Slides) is a full inquiry investigation into speed and motion and takes place at a water park.

Learners work in teams to design and build solar water heating devices that mimic those used in residences to capture energy in the form of solar radiation and convert it to thermal energy.

This activity shows you how to make amazing crystal spikes using Epsom salt and the sun.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners explore an aquatic site such as a pond, lake, stream, river or seashore to find and investigate plants and animals that live in water.

In this activity, learners use found natural materials to create a water haven for bees and other insects.

Lakes, streams and other freshwater bodies are a habitat for lots of living things, big and small.

In this activity, learners use the design thinking process to design and build their own aqueduct, or water bridge.

In this outdoor activity, learners race small boats, made of cork, balsa wood, popsicle sticks etc., to investigate the rate and direction of currents in a stream or creek.
