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

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 hands-on activity, learners use the steps of the design process to create a hook to rescue a "space capsule" from the water.

Learners work in pairs to design, construct, and test a device that exhibits positive, neutral, and negative buoyancy. They test a number of different objects in water to see if they sink or float.

In this activity (on pages 29-35), learners examine water pollution and filtration.

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

In this activity, learners create a biosphere in a baggie.
