In this activity, learners explore how salt water freezes in comparison to fresh water.

“Exploring Earth: Investigating Clouds” is a hands-on activity in which visitors create a cloud in a bottle and explore it with laser light.

In this activity, learners heat ice and water of the same temperature to get a hands-on look at phase changes. This is an easy and inexpensive way to introduce states of matter and thermodynamics.

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

In this activity, learners make a model of the hot water of a deep sea vent in the cold water of the ocean to learn about one of the ocean's most amazing and bizarre underwater habitats.

In this activity, learners are challenged to lift a floating ice cube out of a glass of water using just one end of a piece of string.

This experiment is designed to illustrate how fluids, including water, have the ability to flow.

This activity about density provides instructions for making a miniature "lava lite" with just salt, oil, water, and food coloring.

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

In this activity, learners explore why humans sweat. Learners compare the effects of heat on a balloon filled with air and a balloon filled water.

In this activity, learners explore Boyle's Law and discover that water will boil at room temperature if its pressure is lowered.

Why is ocean water sometimes the warmest when the average daily air temperature starts to drop? In this activity, learners explore the differing heat capacities of water and air using real data.
