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

In this classic hands-on activity, learners estimate the length of a molecule by floating a fatty acid (oleic acid) on water.

"Molecules in Motion" explores how materials behave and change in a vacuum.

In this activity, learners build a simple electrolysis device. Then learners use an indicating solution to visualize hydrogen and oxygen molecules in water.

In this activity about water solubility and density, learners use critical thinking skills to determine why water can dissolve some things and not others.

Learners explore how the attractive forces between water molecules create surface tension and allow certain objects to float on the surface of 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.

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