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

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

In this activity, learners explore sublimation by conducting experiments with dry ice.

In this activity, learners explore how air warms when it condenses water vapor or makes clouds.

In this activity, learners observe the water cycle in action! Water vapor in a tumbler condenses on chilled aluminum foil — producing the liquid form of water familiar to us as rain and dew.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to explore how water flows up from a tree's roots to its leafy crown.

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.

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

Cool off in the heat with this project! Learners use simple materials to build a fan that runs on a motor.

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.

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

In this activity, learners calculate the number of milliliters of water a nearby tree transpires per day.

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

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.

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!

In this activity, learners explore liquid crystal thermometers to observe how heat flows by conduction, convection, radiation, and evaporation.

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

In this weather-related activity, learners make a portable cloud in a bottle.

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.

In this activity, learners observe the hydrologic cycle in action as water evaporates and condenses to form rain right before their eyes.
