In this activity, learners explore the different salinities of various sources of water by taste-testing.

In this activity, learners working in pairs saturate a cotton ball using water drops from an eyedropper to demonstrate the high water capacity of clouds.

This is a quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under Nasturtium Leaves Activity) about surface tension.

In this activity, learners use cheap, thin plastic garbage bags to quickly build a solar hot air balloon. In doing so, learners will explore why hot air rises.

Learners use M&Ms® (or any other multi-color, equally-sized small candy or pieces) to create a pie graph that expresses the composition of air.

In this activity, learners simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).

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

In this activity, learners (at least three) work together to explore the effects of atmospheric pressure.

In this activity (on page 2), learners create a submarine using a plastic cup. This is a fun way to learn about buoyancy and density.

In this activity, learners compare water pressure at different depths. Learners discover that water pressure increases with depth.

In this activity, learners make their own "tornado" using two soda bottles and water.

In this activity, learners discover the relationship between temperature and pressure in the lower atmospheres of Jupiter and Earth.

In this activity about water's cohesive and adhesive properties and why water molecules are attracted to each other, learners test if objects repel or absorb water.

In this physics activity, learners build their own rockets out of film canisters and construction paper.

In this activity, learners create and understand surface currents. Learners create example surface currents and discover how landmasses affect the current.

In this activity, learners observe the water cycle in action! Water vapor in a tumbler condenses on chilled aluminum foil — producing the liquid form of water familiar to us as rain and dew.

In this activity (on page 8), learners model how marble statues and buildings are affected by acid rain.

In this activity, learners use raisins and seltzer water to understand why waves don’t move objects forward. Learners conduct two simple experiments to understand the circular movement of waves.

In this activity, learners discover the difficulty of ocean exploration by human beings as they investigate water pressure.

In this activity on page 4 of the PDF (Water in Our World), learners conduct some quick and easy tests to determine the differences between water and other liquids that look very similar to water.
