Learners see that a carrot slice sinks in fresh water and floats in saltwater.

In this water activity, learners discover ways to move water across the water table.

In this activity (located on page 6 of the PDF), learners explore the ways people access water in their homes.

Many people get water from a source deep underground, called groundwater.

This activity provides instructions for using cornstarch and water to make an ooze which has the properties of both a solid and liquid.

In this activity, learners explore atoms as the smallest building blocks of matter. With adult help, learners start by dividing play dough in half, over and over again.

In this activity, learners will make fish cutouts that propel through the water with the help of surface tension.

In this physics activity, learners will explore buoyancy.

Learners discover that soap can be used to power a boat. Learners make a simple, flat boat model, put it in water, and then add a drop of detergent at the back of the boat.

This is an activity/demo in which learners are exposed to the difference bewteen hydrophobic surfaces (water repelling) and hydrophilic surfaces (water loving).

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

Experiment with liquids of different densities and create liquid layers. For example, oil and water have different densities: oil floats on water because it is less dense than water.

In this three-part activity, learners play a game and conduct two simple experiments to explore water and surface tension. Learners will have fun discovering how water "sticks" together.

In this water activity, learners explore how water drops behave on different surfaces.

Where rainwater goes after the rain stops? And why there are rivers and lakes in some parts of the land but not in others?

This is an activity about turbidity, or the amount of sediment suspended in water.

Glare from the sun and ripples from the wind can make it hard to see what's below the surface of a body of water.

In this activity, learners use objects they find on a nature and water to make creative frozen sculptures.

Learners see that a can of regular cola sinks while a can of diet cola floats. As a demonstration, bubble wrap is taped to the can of regular cola to make it float.
