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?

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.

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.
