Learners take on the role of environmental engineers as they design water filters.

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

In this sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.

In this activity (located on page 10 of the PDF), learners explore the properties of spraying and dripping water, while making art.

In this water activity, learners build boats that float and sink. First, learners listen to the book, "Who Sank the Boat" and practice making predictions throughout the story.

Learners work in groups to construct bridges using stale marshmallows and toothpicks.

Learners design, build, and test models of "dragon boats" made from up to three milk cartons.

In this activity, learners visualize the differences in water density and relate this to the potential consequences of increased glacial melting.

In this hands-on activity, learners will construct a scuba diver that can float in order to explore how sea creatures stay neutrally buoyant in the ocean and to see what kinds of forces might be influ

This activity (located on page 8 of the PDF) introduces learners to the concept of Non-point Source Pollution--what happens when rain washes garbage and other pollutants into rivers and lakes.

In this water pollution activity, learners create pond water cultures and investigate the effects of adding chemicals or natural nutrients.

In this activity, learners will test cups full of potting soil, sand, and sphagnum moss to see which earth material is able to soak up the most water.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Bogs), learners will test cups full of potting soil, sand, and sphagnum moss to see which earth material is able to soak up the most water.

In this activity, learners use the design thinking process to design and build their own aqueduct, or water bridge.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Water in Our World), learners make their own water treatment systems for cleaning water.

In this activity about saturation (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Sand Dunes), learners will build a series of sand castle towers using a 16 oz cup.

Water treatment on a large scale enables the supply of clean drinking water to communities.

In this activity, learners practice the steps involved in a scientific investigation while learning why ice formations on land (not those on water) will cause a rise in sea level upon melting.
