In this multi-part activity learners examine non-point water pollution.

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

In this 7-10 day investigation, learners develop an understanding of waves and tides and their motion through discussion, demonstration, and hands-on activities.

This online simulation game explores the different consequences of water levels on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Water Slides) is a full inquiry investigation into speed and motion and takes place at a water park.

Learners work in teams to design and build solar water heating devices that mimic those used in residences to capture energy in the form of solar radiation and convert it to thermal energy.

In this outdoor activity, learners simulate an oil spill using popcorn (both oil and popcorn float on water), and estimate the spill's impact on the environment.

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

This activity offers learners and their families several ways to raise their awareness together about home water.

In this activity, learners use found natural materials to create a water haven for bees and other insects.

As a group, learners consider sources of water pollution to understand where pollution starts and where it ends up.

This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.

In this activity, learners use a laser pointer to project a microscopic image of a liquid sample suspended from the tip of a syringe.

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

In this outdoor activity, learners race small boats, made of cork, balsa wood, popsicle sticks etc., to investigate the rate and direction of currents in a stream or creek.

In this activity, learners consider the water features they might enjoy at a community park--a pond, brook, water playground (or "sprayground"), or pool--and what happens to the water over time.

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

In this ecology activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners explore how to filter contaminated water using a variety of materials.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Nasturtium Leaves Activity) about surface tension.
