A Funny Taste
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the different salinities of various sources of water by taste-testing.

Drying It Out
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate and compare the rate of drying in different conditions.
How Does Water Climb a Tree?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to explore how water flows up from a tree's roots to its leafy crown.

Water: Clearly Unique!
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 4 of the PDF (Water in Our World), learners conduct some quick and easy tests to determine the differences between water and other liquids that look very similar to water.

Comparing Crystals
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will learn about crystals by growing their very own.

Wonderful Weather
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct three experiments to examine temperature, the different stages of the water cycle, and how convection creates wind.

Determining the Amount of Transpiration from a Schoolyard Tree
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners calculate the number of milliliters of water a nearby tree transpires per day.

Crystal Stencil Stars
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 6 of the PDF, learners dissolve Epsom salt in water and discover that the resulting solution can be used to create a work of art.

Cool It!
Source Institutions
In this fun hands-on activity, learners use simple materials to investigate evaporation. How can the evaporation of water on a hot day be used to cool an object? Find out the experimental way!
Disappearing Water
Source Institutions
In this outdoor water activity, learners explore evaporation by painting with water and tracing puddles. Learners will discover that wet things become dry as the water evaporates.

Veggies with Vigor
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners try to revive wilted celery. Learners discover that plants wilt when their cells lose water through evaporation. Use this activity to introduce capillary action.

Photosynthesis and Transpiration
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Plants—The Green Machines), learners examine the effects that light and air have on green plants.

Make a Water Cycle Wristband
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners thread colored beads onto string. Each beach represent a process of the water cycle.
